Forums - Sony - Does EyePet have a chance to become like Zhu Zhu Pets?

no, for obvious reasons

What's a Zhu Zhu pet? Is it like a Tamagotchi, or a Teksta?

It's definitely not going to be as big as Nintendogs, and you are implying that ZhuZhu is bigger, so no way in HELL that's happening.

I think the more sensible to ask is if Eyepet has chance to outsell Activision videogame interpretation of Zhu Zhu, to bring the whole question on more common ground.

How about this as a way to extend the question, and reframe it: Is there anything that will be coming out that will cause the PS3 to make it the hottest, must-have, item of the holiday season, the way Zhu Zhu is this year?  Wii Sports and Wii Fii happened to be this for the Wii, but what with the PS3 will cause it to do this?  I see there is a remote chance Natal might, but I would weigh against that even, even if it ends up being cool, and does what it is promises.



Whoa, Eyepet costs $400?

PS3+PS3 Eye+EyePet  is likely around $400.  For someone to just buy a PS3 to play EyePet, you are looking at around $400.  Compare this to under $20 for Zhu Zhu.

Oh well yeah, that makes more sense.



No, it's not nearly as annoying like Furby or Poo-Chi.

Ok, so we have $299 + $60.  That is about $360.  After taxes, it comes close to $400.  If one wanted to buy an HDMI cable, then taxes push it slightly over $400.
