So more refining is needed for low end sales numbers for WiiWare titles. I find it interesting that 10% of WiiWare titles sell between 50,000 and 350,000. 90% of titles don't break 50k.

You may wish to mention where this information comes from. I'd really like something meatier than some slides, too. Especially with all those question marks.

Thanks, now I know that it's Simon Carless of Gamasutra making these assertions... er, posing these questions... whatever. He even says that there might an AV recording up somewhere at some point.

He's also got slides on other digital distribution channels here:

I find it interesting that there were no examples cited for VGC being off on the low-end, just the general assertion (which is something that everyone probably already feels exists).
