Ó
Nintendo's Wi-Fi online service connections hit 3 million worldwide, according to the company's UK general manager David Yarnton, who revealed the figure at an event in London this afternoon. That's thought to represent more than half a million actual users, according to Yarnton's later clarification of his comments. Now with over 3 million players online, according to Yarnton, continuing the phenomenal success which was first indicated when almost 50 per cent of US purchasers of Mario Kart DS used the online service in the first week of availability.The numbers continue to rise significantly since the launch of the Wi-Fi connection enabled Animal Crossing: Wild World, which was launched in December and has since sold well over a million copies in Japan alone.
While Yarnton was speaking at a special event held at the Science Museum to promote key forthcoming Nintendo DS titles including Electroplankton and the European version of the hugely successful Brain Training titles. He also revealed that a thousand new hot spots are to be equipped for DS use in the coming months, adding to the existing network of public hot spots in locations such as cafes, pubs and transport stations.
