Wii Tidbits

A few things caught my attention this morning (while I was waiting for my experiments to be ready…early this morning…) related to my lovely Wii. Firstly, apparently, the Wii has sold 7.8 million Virtual Console downloads in the last year. If you multiply that out as if all the downloads were NES titles (i.e. $5 each), then that translates to $39 million in nearly pure profit, and we all know that not all those titles were NES (i.e. as high as $10 per title). The truly sad part about this is that these are old games that have already been sold. It’s akin to Ford making Model Ts for free and selling them again. Oh well…

On another note, here’s a video of old people in a Wii bowling tournament…worth watching for a few minutes, at least… 😛
