It means that Nintendo has the weakest online infrastructure, so 200k digital sales for any game is impossible.

No, I have no idea how much traffic Nintendo's servers can handle.

Are you being serious here? The 3DS isn't exactly known for its digital content. I can assure you this wont' be a problem.

I must say, your ignorance is pretty astonishing. I'd suggest taking steps to remedy this, but my guess is that this ignorance is largely willful.

You obviously misunderstood. By "online infrastructure" I mean their eShop as a whole being weak/primitive compared to the competition. I wasn't talking about their servers, but as long as we're on the topic, at the moment, I don't think their servers could hold up very well if there was enough demand for digital content on their systems. This is all just speculation of course. I have no insisde info. This is just an educated guess, so take it with a grain of salt.

So you actually mean that the eshop is so poorly laid out that it would be impossible for 200,000 people to find the game there?

This is getting more confusing by the post.

Time to stop digging the hole you are in, put that shovel down, and admit that you have a neurological condition that leads you to post negative information in nintendo threads. It's okay, take a deep breath and start the self healing process.

Wow incredible feat! Never thought it would sell that much on eShop! Even VGKing was not predicting that much units shifted digitally...

Would you mind retracting on your comments? This is getting more and more confusing. Animal Crossing sold 200k on the eShop so severs can handle all the overwhelming demand. You were wrong, get over it and stop bashing Nintendo.

Impressive, even after the performance on COMG.

While I tired of Animal Crossing a little after the Wii entry, it's a great franchise to have on the go. Congrats to it on the sales!


You should maybe look into this one though.  They did change it up decently with you being the mayor and added back the island (GCN had one if you had the GBA adapter) and a few other things (like being able to swim, etc).

I am amazed at the number of downloads! Just amazing!
Never thought download would really have that kind of impact. Btw, the cards seem to be a great idea by Nintendo. That way, retailers are still relevant.

Just wanting to be sure: the report speaks of retail copies and physical downloads - so to speak. But that number could be a little bigger if we count those who really just downloaded from the eshop and did not bought a card to do so, right? Or is download just an option if you buy the card?

That is correct. Although I do not expect that to have been an astronomical number, seeing NSMB 2's eShop performance.

Thanks for confirming it!
I`m not expecting it to relevant, seeing how DL numbers are already so big, but still, it could add up some more copies! :D
