Virtual Console off to a flying start!
Nintendo of America today announced that it has sold more than 1.5 million Virtual Console games since its Wii console launched approximately two months ago.
The Wii Shopping Channel, which sells classic NES, S-NES, N64, TurboGrafx-16 and SEGA Genesis titles, has proved to be a major selling point for Nintendo's console. Next week, Nintendo plans to add Mario Kart 64, the second N64 game, to its Virtual Console roster.
When contacted, Microsoft representatives said that more than 20 million Xbox Live Arcade games have been purchased and downloaded since the system launched more than a year ago.

1.5 million is a pretty solid number. It' s only bound to increase with the amount of great games arriving soon.
