Nintendo Finally Embracing Digital Distribution
Nintendo is planning the digital distribution of their retail titles this fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2013. This news comes from Nintendo’s recent financial statements. Here is the quote:
“Forecasted sales units of Nintendo 3DS software and Wii U software… include the quantity of the packaged software by means of digital distribution.” Nintendo has not traditionally included digital sales in their software sales numbers but is now making an exception for downloads that have a corresponding packaged version.
It is nice to see Nintendo FINALLY embracing “current technology”. In my opinion, I think that the majority of gamers will still prefer physical copies of titles but this is a major draw for publishers.
