While Nintendo has remained mum on its Virtual Console sales, one number was revealed today that finally gave a hint to its "success." During a conference held by Nintendo in Tokyo, Shinji Hatano, a Nintendo executive, mentioned that the service earned 3.5 billion yen ($32.6 million) in sales so far.
So finally, something else to compare with the already known fact that the Virtual Console exceeded 7.8 million downloads so far. While $32.6 million may sound rather nice, Hatano said, "We're currently unsure if this is a lot or low. They're not bad figures."
But without more figures, most of us are left in the dark regarding download numbers of the Virtual Console service.
