So I did a very quick survey of my female friends and it turns out that quite of few of them received Nintendo DSs for Christmas/Hanukah. Nintendogs was unanimously the accompanying software. Pink was the dominant colour.
All of them received the handhelds from their significant others. Here's the clincher: none of them has yet had the chance to play on the new gadgets. It's the 9 January! Quelle surprise: the gift-giver has been hoarding the thing for his own purposes.
Yes, I feel their pain. My DS has been similarly occupied for months. Personally, I blame Advance Wars 2.
