Liers.

It's mathematically impossible they got more revenue from PC when the average selling price was so much lower than on XboxLIVE.

Bold claim.  Where's the proof?

Well those guys earlier in the thread said it was on a $3.75 Steam sale around X-mas. And we all know those sales account for huge poporortion of total game sales on Steam.

You misunderstand.  You've just accused the two people in the world who would best know the game's income of lying about which platform made those same two people the most money.  You need solid evidence to back that up.  "It was on sale for a day" does not qualify.

there were 2 parts to his originally bolded section.   one being the a reference to profit apparently coming from team meat and a second part about revenue which does not appear to be a comment from them.

OMFG.

The Microsoft Defence Force on here seriously need to get a grip.

I am wondering if the revenue quote is the actual cut they got from the game, or gross revenues.

If it is the former, it could make sense. Steam may of taken a smaller cut of the revenues than Microsoft (say 70/30 for Steam and 60/40 for XBLA), and it would make sense, as Microsoft doesn't allow self-publishing on XBLA and may of brokered a smaller cut for Team Meat in return for more ad space on the service. 

I don't understand the bickering. Team Meat just made over $2 million USD from both versions. That is a million dollars for each person in Team Meat. No one should be complaining about which one made more money, because it was very, very close and both sold incredibly well.

If anything, it proves the viability of cross-platform digital games. Selling over 400,000 copies of a game like SMB in 3 months is incredible, and should lead to very strong sales over the next year.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Video was specifically limited at GDC for the talks.  You could record the first 5 minutes of the hour long talk but that's it.  So if a video of it ever comes out I guess it'll be a shaky cell phone or maybe the GDC officials took a video.

camera bans havent stopped people before and if someone started going on a tirade about how microsoft cheated and scammed them, then someone certainly would have whipped out a camera.

Speaking personally, I'm just trying to have a good time.

So you think if someone wrongly quoted team meat, team meat will not come out in the open and deny it?

Eurogamer is a lot more professional than that.
