When the Nintendo Wii was still in the works and information started coming out about the virtual console, I thought it was an interesting idea, but I wasn’t sure exactly who was going to pay money for games they already have, or used to place 20 years ago. Outdated graphics and easy gameplay seemed to be a thing of the past, or was it?
According to Nintendo, they have raked in $33 million dollars from their virtual console. Then they stated that they weren’t sure if this was high or low. Considering that these games had already been created and sold once to the public previously, the fact that they convinced the public to rebuy the same games is incredible. That is like charging someone for bottled water when they can get it free at home!
With that said, I’m a big fan of the virtual console, it just surprises me how successful it has been.
