For the Wii U, we will start the digital download sales of packaged software that I just discussed, so our consumers can choose either the packaged version or the digital download version of the same software from day one of the Wii U’s launch.

This is surprising.

Not only because Nintendo is jumping on the digital distribution wagon but because all rumors about the WiiU said that it wouldn't have an HDD, just 8 GB or so of Flash memory. So, how can we download full retail games then? That means that either Nintendo has changed their mind and WiiU will have an HDD (making it pricier) or we will need to buy large capacity SD cards.

Anyway, I'm glad by this news.
