In preparation of replacing the DS Download Stations at Best Buy stores, the consumer electronics giant is testing out new “Nintendo Zone” kiosks in San Francisco, Redmond, Seattle, and two locations in Minnesota. The Nintendo Zones will reportedly provide demos and previews for popular and upcoming Wii and DS games, Best Buy sales statistics, and a Wi-Fi connection allowing DSi users to browse and shop for DSiWare titles.
I’m curious to know how many people use the DS Download Stations / Nintendo Zones. Obviously, we informed gamers probably get our demos and downloads from our Wii consoles or home Wi-Fi connection. Are the “casual” consumers (or their kids) really bringing their DS handhelds into Best Buy stores in large numbers?
