200k digital is an impressive feat, but not all of is actually digital if you know what I mean. I'd love to know how many of these digital downloads were from those download codes they sold at retail.

I doubt we'll get a breakdown between which were purchased via the download card and which were purchased via the eShop iself.

However, it's all irrelevant when you consider that either way the game was still downloaded digitally.  The point of sale doesn't really matter.  It's the method of product distribution that is the key factor.

You've been claiming it can't handle 200k and that the infrastructure is somehow weaker (you do realize that the 3DS online infrastructure is now powered by the Nintendo Network rather then the old GameSpy powered Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection system, don't you).  You even stated that the 3DS eShop is somehow insufficient to enable 200k in digital downloads.   Do you have any data to back up any of those claims?


Yeah, what VGKing said doesn't really make any sense at all, because whether they used a download code at retail or got it from the eShop doesn't change anything in terms of traffic.  Regardless of whatever VGKing says, it is still 200k downloads in less than a full week.
