Want to know the real reason why Nintendogs is one of the most "important" games? Because everybody has it. Nintendo is reporting that 13.6 million copies of the game have been sold worldwide. Compare that to Brain Age and its sequel, which sold a combined 12 million copies. We knew Nintendogs was massive, but we kind of didn't realize how massive. As we alluded to in the title, we wonder how many of those copies are still getting daily use.
Another interesting tidbit from the financial report: Nintendo made 2.1 billion yen (about $17.5 million) last year from their non-video-game products, including playing cards. And before you ask, they probably did count Nintendogs as a video game.

I ended up selling my copy of "Nintendogs." I never played it after the first few weeks, and there was a certain guilt factor, knowing my little virtual Corgi pup was hungry, thirsty and covered in fleas. The person who bought it assured me that he was taking it to a farm where it would run around and play with all the other animals. :-)

@5: What about PSP Fanboy? You referring to the fact that they have more more activity and site hits than DS Fanboy, or that the PSP has no blockbuster puppy sim tamagotchi that people tire of quickly after buying?
