F.A.D.E. report: WiiWare Grows over 30% to Nearly $60 Million in 2009 (top 10 WiiWare/VC of 2009)

By  • 

February 22, 2010 – Forecasting and Analyzing Digital Entertainment, LLC (FADE) has released its annual report for 2009 for Nintendo’s WiiWare and Virtual Console services. FADE estimates that the two platforms combined for $125 million in revenue in 2009, with the holiday rush just giving Virtual Console the edge over WiiWare ($66 million to $59 million).
