From what was once just a rebranding of previous DS games for an older demographic, Nintendo announced yesterday that their Touch Generations series of "pick up and play" DS games has sold close to 3.5 million titles in the US, 63% of which are copies of Nintendogs. It appears that Nintendo is counting numbers since the release of the puppy simulator last October, however, rather than when the rebranding effort took place back in May of this year.We're guessing an additional 33% of the 3.5M units stem from strong Brain Age and Big Brain Academy sales which are also considered Touch Generations titles. So basically, an estimated 2-3 games are driving a majority of the nine title series market share. That said, does this mean the franchise is doing its job in bringing non-gamers into the portable fold?
