Now people are going to think I'm insane suggesting that 10-million VC sales is an embarrasment so just wait and listen to my logic.

Currently according to VGChartz their are 20-million Wii's in the hands of gamers accross the globe. Considering that , that means about half of that number are sold downloads. In the best case scenario you have an attach rate of 50%!

Now 50% is a drasticly innaccurate way to look at sales. Considering each download card purchased can be used for up to four downloads. That alone cuts the number of players downloading titles even lower to as low as 25% of the total 10-million are actually gamers who are downloading titles. So your talking at best 2.5 million gamers buying online games.

Now we get even further worse I myself have spent almost 200$ on games. I know many other gamers have purchased multiple cards. My friend has purchased three and used them all already. So what am I meaning now the number of gamers buying online games shrins even further.

So these numbers show that less then 2.5-million gamers downloading Virtual Console games. The number is more likely under a million because hard core gamers like myself buy dozens of cards my memory is already used up on my Wii from Virtual Console games.

So should Nintendo be proud that they sold 10-million online games or should they be embarrased?
