"Nintendo has finally provided a real sales figure for its Virtual Console service, but strangely the company isn't sure whether it's considered a lot or low."

However, many games are priced at $8/$10.
So, rather than sales, this $33 million number could represent the profit made on the service (if the number is even accurate, it seems to have been mentioned in passing).
Either way, it's not a spectacular amount, but I suppose it's not bad when you consider that Nintendo doesn't do much (at all) to promote the service. Unless a Wii owner decides to play around in the shop Channel (if they even bother to set up the online, and I have many friends who haven't), they might not even know about them.
