He probably means virtual console. Thing is most wii owners has no idea the wii is even online capable.

About 36% of all Xbox 360 users have downloaded at least one XBLA game before.

Of course, the UI really doesn't promote sales as much as you wish they would.

Also, scottie, the issue with WiiWare/VC is that it's difficult to get any target figures for online penetration as well as frequency of the users downloading products.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Quite a lot for me. Wolfenstein recently, DOOM, Sensible Soccer, Double Dragon, Duke Nukem, Marathon, Street Fighter 2, all the Fallout 3 expansions, the Oblivion expansions, Mass Effect DLC, GTA DLC, Halo 3 maps, Rainbow Six Vegas maps, Defender, the Turtles arcade game, Pac Man CE, N+, Castlevania, Godfather DLC, Streets of Rage, Arkadian Warriors, Golden Axe, Worms, some other stuff that doesn't come to mind. And I'll buy a few more during the year.

Will you teach me to football?

VGChartz on occasion post Virtual Console sales.

Wii online sales - news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=3688
XBLA sales - news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=3527

From those charts we can see (not surprisingly) classic Nintendo games do very well on Virtual Console. Wiiware games also seem to get respectable sales with a mediocre selection.

I've spent a fortune on xbox live over the years, I have tried to cut down a bit now though but there are a few things a REALLY want, World At War: Map Pack 2 and Battlefield 1943 (looks amazing!), 29 arcade games, themes and sh*t loads of DLC (paid and free),

My hard drive is almost full now so will need to look into getting a 120gb at some point,

I have downloaded a few bits from PSN but never bought anything from their, nothing that interests me tbh, same for Wii, world of goo was the only game i wanted but I got it on PC instead,
