My Baby Pulls Through for SouthPeak
SouthPeak Interactive on Wednesday revealed a rise in revenues and net income for the December quarter, thanks in part to My Baby.
Boy and girl versions of My Baby, a baby-raising sim, launched for Nintendo DS in October, driving SouthPeak revenues to $17.3 million for the quarter, up from $4.2 million a year ago.
Net income was $1.2 million, up from $281K a year prior.
CEO Melanie Mroz said in a statement, "In particular, we had overwhelming demand for My Baby, which exceeded our expectations and was one of the best selling Nintendo DS titles this holiday season."

Given that the box features some typos, and in one case the wrong gender was printed on it, it's clear that it had a budget of about 4p.
As a result, I'm hardly shocked it's done well, since they needed to sell only a few. What I'm more shocked about is that it's doing well. Shovelware like this doesn't deserve to sell in the quantities that it does, but the little girls that buy it don't seem to know any better.
