This number is thought to represent more than half a million actual users.
Yarton has also mentioned that thousands of new hot spots are being equipped for DS use in the coming months around the world in locations such as cafes, pubs and transport stations. Yarton made these announcements at a Science Museum in order to promote upcoming DS games such as Electroplankton and the upcoming Brain Training games.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will be the future service which will bring owners of Nintendo’s next generation Revolution console online.
