Virtual Console Sales

I have a Wii and a 360. The Virtual Console has not convinced me to buy one single game yet. The main reason? No demo to try out. Plus the fact that not one of the games has been brought into the 21st century.

Meanwhile, I must own close to 15-20 XBLA games and actually want to buy more. If you want to send me a Christmas gift - get me a MS Points card from Best Buy, please.

I have no clue how overall Wii's VC #'s are compared to MS's XBLA numbers. Someone's gotta know.

There is a good reason most of the high ranking Wii games are VC titles - they are awesome games.

Check out one of the threads on this board - goes over the top 6 or 7 titles. You can't lose getting any of them.

If you haven't played them - you owe yourself to at least *try* one of them. Ocarina, Mario 64, Sin & Punishment, Castlevania IV, Zelda 1, Waverace, Paper Mario, etc...

If the gfx are holding you back, then just wait for WiiWare titles.

I'd like someone to name any of the XBLA titles that are better games than the top tier of VC titles. Is there anything that competes with Ocarina or Paper Mario for instance?
