Of the 20 or so 3DS games available around the globe, so far two have broken through the million sales barrier — Capcom's Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition and Miyamoto's cute 'em up Nintendogs + Cats.
According to Nintendo's latest investor report, the canine collection sold 1.71m units since launch, an impressive total considering Nintendo has sold 3.6m 3DS consoles worldwide. By our maths, that's nearly 50% of 3DS owners picking up a pet to go with their new machine, though it has a long way to go to beat the original Nintendogs sales of over 23m units worldwide.

Wow thats a bunch...i kinda doubted it would sell too much, but i was proved wrong!
woof woof meeow
Walking, petting, and training must be a famous trend nowadays!
Can't blame people. Those dogs and cats are awfully cute.
People may fault the game for being a tad shallow feature-wise, but there are so many areas in which Nintendo's attention to detail exceed their competitors' in the virtual pet market, making their furry critters the absolute most life-like out there.
I love my Nintendogs! :3
The doggies still got it.
Considering all but one of my Street Pass encounter so far have included an encounter in Nintendogs as well, I'm not really surprised.
I kind of figured
Maybe I will pick this up one day since I didn't get a chance to experience the original.
I just wish I could have a real cat. Virtually sitting on your lap (or ignoring you) just wouldn't be the same.
And no it didn't come bundled with the system...
think of all the chew toys nintendo could buy with all that money!
I'm part of that number.
Considering the original nintendogs was the DS best selling game ever, this doesn't surprise me.
Expected.
Knew it.
My brother owes me cash.
