10 titles have shipped a million now, quite a feat.
Opera will be delayed a month... coming out in July now.
The Oneseg TV tuner will go on sale in Autumn and will cost "approximately half the price of the DS hardware" = ~8400 yen.
Nintendo aims to continue the Touch Generations series, with the balance between "non-games" and games being very important to them. Seems they want to get more non-gamers into games gradually - the above stats seem to indicate such a motion.
Pokemon will have wi-fi worldwide voicechat.
Wii part:http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/200...54492,0,0.html
Shipping 4 million by the end of the calendar year (worldwide)Pokemon Battle Revolution will be out a few months after Pearl/Diamond and will link with the DS game.
