WiiWare sales 'almost non-existent'

'The window for release and success of software on the platform ended in 2009', claims indie publisher

Game sales on Nintendo's digital platform WiiWare are almost non-existent, claims the founder of indie publisher Nicalis.
Speaking to GoNintendo, Tyrone Rodriguez said that he was forced into cancelling Nigoro’s side-scrolling game La-Mulana after two years of development because of the tiny customer-base on the system.

He added that the game had also failed to pass Nintendo’s submission process in the US and EU, despite already having DLC in place.
“The decision to cancel publishing of La-Mulana was a tough call, but waiting two years for Nigoro to finish development has made it near impossible to sell sufficient units on Wii,” said Rodriguez.
“The WiiWare market has a fraction of the players from 2008. The window for release and success of software on the platform ended in 2009 and took a very steep decline. Players have moved onto other digital download platforms.”
