Nintendo reveals 3DS/Wii Netflix statistics
The following comes from Satoru Iwata...
As for the overseas markets, in the U.S. and in Canada, Netflix is already operating its video distribution business on the Wii and on the Nintendo 3DS.
Netflix has already shown a solid result with the Wii. In the case of the Nintendo 3DS, although the Nintendo 3DS is yet to have a substantial installed base in these countries, Netflix applications have already been downloaded onto more than 400,000 Nintendo 3DS hardware units there. As the hardware-installed base expands, we can expect more people to enjoy the service.
Also in the U.S., Hulu Plus, which is a paid video distribution service operated by Hulu that was established primarily by a major TV network, is going to start on both the Wii and the Nintendo 3DS in the near future.
Also, DreamWorks is already distributing a short 3D movie on Nintendo Video, which is a free 3D video download service Nintendo is providing for the owners of Nintendo 3DS, and those who like the free short video can purchase the full video at Nintendo eShop.
As you can see from these examples, the company is accelerating its digital business outside Japan too.
