Europe cannot resist the cute, cuddly allure of little puppies either.
Nintendo has announced that Nintendogs has sold over 160,000 units in its first weekend of sales in Europe, mirroring the success seen in North America and Japan."Nintendogs is clearly helping sell new Nintendo DS hardware. Aligned with a price drop to ?89.99, Nintendo DS sales are up between 400-700% across Europe, this will further cement our position as leader in the portable market," commented Nintendo Senior Director of Marketing, Jim Merrick.
