10-million VC sales an embarrasment!

I never said that the service wasn't profitable or worth setting up. I said that 10-million isn't an amount to really be proud of considering the amount of hardware they have sold. I mean there are 20-million Wii's and only about 10% are downloading content.

As for whether people are willing to download classics. Fact is  the hardcore gamers are going to want to buy at least one classic. I can gaurantee every hardcore Nintendo gamer is going to want at least a single classic game. That means only 10% of the user base is hardcore.

 The attach rate of VC games shows the success of Nintendo's online network and the installed user base of hardcore Nintendo fanboys. How many hardcore gamers are there how many online gamers are there how many buyers are willing to purchase online games.

 That is all important!
 

you make way too many leaps in your logic that aren't logically implied

a) i'm a hardcore Nintendo gamer that has yet to buy a single vc game...i just haven't gotten around to it due to lack of time, but i will eventually

b) not sure where u are getting the 10% number from, but there is no basis to say 10% (2 million) is the amount of vc purchasers

c) these are purchases SO FAR...many just haven't gotten around to it yet; others aren't on the internet; others don't have the controllers to do it yet; etc
