The Sony Aibo made its debut in 1999, and at the hefty price of $2500. While it didn’t exactly sell like hot cakes (or look like a dog), the robot itself was ahead of its time. Even real dogs had beef with them, as you’ll see after the break.
If these cyber versions were meant to appeal to real wannabe dog owners, I think they should’ve made them look a little more doglike.
