Dee-Mak!

Yahoo! News -   According to industry figures, Furby is the single best-selling toy for 1999, despite the Pokemon phenomenon.

"Furby's been one of the biggest surprises of the year," says Clifford Annicelli, managing editor of Playthings magazine. "Many people in the industry had predicted a rapid falloff in Furby sales after Christmas of 1998, but that didn't happen."

Tiger Electronics say they sold over 500,000 Furbys last week alone in the U.S and predict that  more than 10 million Furbs have been sold this year.
