Thursday night, a DS owner unknowingly connected to the Nintendo WiFi Connection and became the 2 millionth unique user to utilize the service. Over 70 million different game sessions have been playing using the Nintendo WiFi Connection as well. This has all taken place in the span of nine months.
To put that into perspective, Xbox Live had 1 million users after 20 months and 2 million users after 32 months. Of course, it's a bit unfair to compare a full-fledged subscription based service against a free bare-bones service, but that's how the numbers stack up.
Hopefully Nintendo doesn't see this as a sign they don't need to improve. The Nintendo WiFi Connection has lots of things they need to work on! Especially if they want it to stay successful on their home console.
