“(DS software downloads are) a nice added business model but it’s not something that’s going to take over retail game sales.. We’ll be able to see the sales growth and plan for it. But I guess similar to home consoles, the consumer will want an experience that’s best delivered through physical goods, simply because of the memory size required. There will always be those opportunities for big, in-depth games on retail products.” – Reggie Fils-Aime
I am dying to know just how open the platform is going to be. I really want this to be something along the lines of the Apple App Store…but I doubt it will be. I can’t see Nintendo making a platform that is that open.

Reggie – DSi downloads will not overtake boxed retail sales
