You realise only 40% of Wii owners even have an internet connection to download from (compared to I think 50-60% of 360 owners)

then consider not everyone of those 40% will want to buy old games again at all, and thus will have none (it is quite possible to have bought a lot of Wii games instead of buying VC)

I don't understand how the attach ratio of VC games is an important statistic at all.

 

And yes, as people have stated the XBL number is probably not much better.... I believe the last time I heard a number was 23 million downloads (on a 10 million base at the time)... but considering that it includes free downloads and demos and whatever else I would guess the number of games paid for was less than 10 million at the time, which is double what the Wii had (10 million on a 20 mil base) but then you have to consider that more 360 owners are connected to the internet, and that many XBL downloads are cheaper i think, and that XBL games are at least half new games, wheras Wiiware has not been released yet.
