1000 Downloads Per What?!

While browsing around IGN I found a very interesting bit of news that also relates to my current poll. Nintendo announced on Friday that there have been 4.7 million game downloads from the Virtual Console since the Wii launched or 1000 downloads per hour! Until Friday Nintendo had kept us in the dark on specific figures for the VC. I recall them only saying something like it was very popular and doing better than they expected, but I doubt that anyone would have ever imagined 1000 downloads per hour.
