The funny thing about Nintendogs is Japan is actually Nintendogs' lowest selling territory. Europe and North America embraced that game the most.

I think New Super Mario Bros. is well on its way to 8+ million as well.

Yup.

Nintendogs is the best selling DS game.

Nintendogs Wii should be a big priority over at Nintendo, IMO.

Make it so, Nintendo!!

I wonder what those guys that said Nintendogs was a game suited for Japan and nowhere else have to say now.

The DS really is an amazing thing to watch. I've personally never been more satisfied with a handheld and things just look to get better soon. I can't believe how amazing the upcoming release schedule is, especially on the RPG front.

Is that new version of Nintendogs coming out anywhere else soon? Nintendogs will probably sneak pass 10 million by the end of this year.

I still wonder why there are people questioning Nintendo's Wii motives for reaching out to people who do not really game when a game like Nintendogs, not really intentended for hardcore gamers, is leading the pack big time. The Sims effect is in full force.

If they did Nintendogs for the Wii, I think they'd have to add a lot of content to it, because a lot of the appeal of Nintendogs for the DS is that it's a supersized Tamagotchi/virtual pet that you can take with you and "touch/pet".

Animal Crossing Wii though should be huge. I suppose they will try Brain Training Wii also.

I can't wait to see what they do with Nintendogs Wii, or even Animal Crossing Wii for that matter. Both have potential to be awesome MMO games, but I doubt that will ever happen, same with a Pokemon MMO

Because uh, my own opinions is more important to me? Am I gonna praise a game because it got great reviews but I think is crap?

MK DS is meh. I really only liked the original though, and maybe Super Circuit

I hate Gran Turismo and it bores me to sleep. But I wouldn't call it crap, it has undeniable quality and polish to it; It's just not for me. You can try to be more objective when judging the quality of games.

Play Super Circuit then go to MK DS; Your opinion will change. MK DS is arguably the best in the entire series, certainly my favourite.

Then your definition of "gaming" is different from mine. I know I've spent close to 6 months on AC now and I've actually been playing and having fun with it.

nintendo is growing a new army of fans, bigger, better and more resilient than ever before!! :D

great to see so many amazing games selling so well!

it's definitely becoming a big issue with the relative lack of success for third parties but hopefully this will change as more high profile games are released. though, their real problem is a complete inability to plug into the new and returning audience being created by nintendo's titles.

I enjoyed AC. I didn`t stay with it, because of the inability to keep doing stuff over a long period of time over one real time day.

That said, I still think it`s a ****ing incredible game, and it deserves to sell a **** ton.

No surprise here. DS has amazing games, and they`re selling in tons.

And people question Nintendo for catering to non-gamers...:lol It's making them roll in money...If it wasn't for Nintendogs the DS would have had a slower climb in sales terms.

The day non-gaming considered games stop selling well will be the day Nintendo stop trying to make a play for them. I'm glad Nintendo have managed to get my GF to get into gaming...even if it is because of Nintendogs...

It has lead her to get me Animal Crossing, Trauma Centre and Phoenix Wright...and most recently Brain-Training. She bought 4 of my last 5 games...:D The only game I have bought was NSMB...:)

So thank you Nintendo...:D

Obviously, others have differing opinions to you and put their money where their opinion is. If you want games that are "good" to you to sell over a million copies then buy a million copies yourself. That will solve your problem.

I just like to say that Brain Training is awesome.... that is all.
Click to expand...

Despite my original suspicion, Brain training is a fun, complementary game that is what traditional games are not: mentally-based. Much better than Capcom puzzles in games like RE and Onimusha.

I hope this "non-gaming" sales trend continues.

I have no idea why stuff in Onimusha and RE are considered puzzles.

Find locked door, backtrack to find item, backtrack to locked door, open, rinse, repeat.

Mario & Luigi did pretty damn well here in the UK, peaking at No.10 in the Top 40 back in February, when the DS wasn't exactly 'poo hot' round these parts. Pleased (for AlphaDream's sake) to see it break a million worldwide :)

Damn...and something like 1.2 million of those sales are from Japan alone! :lol Did it just get no support in the US? I know here Atari let it sink without a trace. It literally had five review copies for the whole of the UK...!

BTW, in that site... America counts only like USA, right? That should be changed. I live in Argentina and I'm also an american. >.>
Click to expand...

Usually, since a person who lives in the United States is an "American", and other countries are known as "Canadian", "Mexican", "Brazillian", ect., America has been (universally) accepted as another word for the USA. "The Americas" would refer to the both North America and South America, together.

ioi's numbers are spreading. Jeux-France ... Go Nintendo

We've had this discussion before, and I'm fine with ioi's numbers as long as you realize where he gets them. However with these non-GAF sites posting them, they'll have no idea where these numbers came from. I could see this leading to some confusion down the road. Oh, well.

On topic ...

Nintendogs numbers are artificial (same with the main Pokemon games). That said, I plan on buying Dalmations in October. :D

Tamagotchi probably would've done better in the U.S. if they'd bothered to translate more of the game. Then again, maybe mostly Japanese names for people/food/objects is part of the "appeal" of Tamagotchi.

As far as individual titles go, NSMB will soon be the number 1 seller worldwide. :) It could even, eventually, surpass the combined Nintendogs.
