Nintendo Channel goes stat-crazy (hours played, VC sales, hardcore %, and more!)

There are all sorts of new stats to check out on the Nintendo Channel, way too much information to post here. You can visit the channel yourself, and go hunting through piles and piles of data. We may be able to get some rough sales figures by crunching numbers, but I am not looking to start that debate. Instead, check out some figures such as play time, and what people consider ‘hardcore’ games.

Data only includes people that are online, and people that chose to send in data
