When it comes to digital download platforms, Nintendo's DSiWare has been notable as being entirely unmentioned by anyone - Nintendo included - as a commercial success.
Maybe that's because no-one is actually downloading any games.
Maybe so, but developer and publisher combo Gamelion and SkyZone Entertainment are shouting about their success with Extreme Hangman.
Apparently it's "sold more units, in just a matter of weeks, than any other game on the same storefront".
Quite what that means in terms of numbers of downloads is unclear, as Nintendo doesn't let developers talk about how many units they've sold.
However, the companies involved do have something to say concerning their situation.
"I think the success is attributable to having the right title targeted at the proper demographic group of casual gamers," said Key Sar, chief marketing officer from SkyZone Entertainment. "We couldn't be more pleased with our first foray outside of the traditional mobile phone platform."
"We and our partner, Skyzone, are very happy with the results thus far and will continue to collaborate jointly on more Nintendo DSiWare products in the coming years," said Sebastian Szczygiel, veep at Gamelion.
