DS download station

That's right folks, now you'll be able to download DS demos at home rather then in stores.

Please click HERE

Here's 50 million users worldwide that now have even more incentive to get a Wii.

Finally, the wii will be able to keep up with the sales of the PS3. I honestly didn't think they were going to sell many consoles before you revealed this.

Hardy har har lol

Just think though. The DS has 5 times the number of the Wii out there. It's a great market to tap.

I think it's really cool, but you did frame this announcement strangely. And I can't resist a golden opportunity for sarcasm.

Yeah but this is a minor detail, I can live with that when I look at the whole picture. The Wii's future is looking bright. 08 will be far superior in quality and contents than 07. The Wii will be for many the only console they need.

I'm hoping Q1 of 2008

It seems that Nintendo is really making a push to start the new year off solid also so this would only add to it.

thats really not that significant

Raider47

Wrong many times over

There's 50 million DS owners. Even if every single Wii owner owns a DS (which they don't) that leaves 40 million people up for grabs to sell a Wii. This links the two markets. It takes the most powerful system on the market today (DS) and piggybacks the Wii on it.

If you take those 40 million users and only make one quarter of them buy a Wii you've now doubled the amount of Wii owners.

It also opens up the number of Wii owners who will pick up a DS (not that it needs help either)

This is an excellent move and was Nintendo's ace in the hole. Now was the time to spring it.

i wrote that wrong

it is a great idea but the topic made it sound like this is the one thing that will have the wii win the console war

im just saying its not really an original concept

but i am glad nintendo is doing it because the wii needs a few more features

[QUOTE="_KwispY"]im waiting for a wii demo download channel, i think a lot of people seemed to have forgotten about that.Raider47

the only reason i quoted u is cuz of ur SIG

that official shows the 360 dominates over the Wii IN THE UNITED STATES

who cares about the other countrys

I care about the other countries since the 360 won't win the console war.

I think you're a perfect example of the sort of person Nintendo hopes to reach with this.

It's not a system seller but it's an extra incentive that if you do own both your ability to use them fully increases.

What? You owned who? _KwispY has a valid point, and I don't know what graph you're talking about.
