GN Version 4.0
The Internet-connection ratio forms the basis for deploying a digital business. In the case of Nintendo 3DS, it has been the highest among all the handheld video game systems Nintendo has launched. In the Japanese market where the ratio is particularly high, it has reached 87%. It is no less than about 83% in the U.S. The ratios in these markets are still on the rise. The ratio in Europe leaves much to be improved, approximately 57%, but is higher than before.

For Wii U, the current Internet-connection ratio has risen to 80% worldwide. This is a higher number than the previous hardware systems we released. As Wii U is a game console you can enjoy most with an Internet connection, we will continue to inform our consumers about the advantages of using it online and further increase the net-connection ratio.
