Why don't Nintendo off trials/demos? 0_O


sometimes they do, but it is rare and I mean rare and is usually up for one week, I think when it comes to online this is one category that Ninty has no idea what the hell they are doing.

 

OT Ninty doesnt want it known, because the sales suck and they know it. If devs and publishers see crappy numbers they are more likely to say screw that noise and go to someone else. Which is kinda silly becasue its not like most people mess with WiiWare anyway.  IMHO


Doing the math of the grand total and subtracting the others, Wiiware sales in total were only 34k out of 250k beteen the three.  I have no idea how many products they released on Wiiware though, if as just one that isn't bad, if a few that pretty awful.

I look on WIiWare store often and they get about a least one WiiWare game a week, the problem is those games are mostly godawful. Lets just say they are not competing with the Limbos and Trines of the Steam, PSN and Live networks
