What about Crysis? Even if it's a DD only title it's not put in the XBLA category?

I would love to know the sales of Crysis on consoles.

I would have thought Torchlight had passed 500K by now. Thought it was popular.

What are the total sales for Alan Wake AN? 60K by April seems shockingly low.

Crysis has 1000G so it's a Games on Demand game and not included in XBLA.
MS hasn't released ANY sales numbers of their GoD games unfortunately.

American Nightmare is indeed pretty low, but at least MS confirmed that sales are around double the leaderboard entries. So about 140k in total at the end of June.

Yeah. I wish we had an idea. If it's like 50K or more like 250K for Crysis. Because I am so glad they brought it to consoles, such a great game. Its price is in the $20 ballpark on XBL too, isn't it?

American Nightmare, wow, talk about a flop. When it costs only $15 you'd expect it to sell a million lifetime, or at least 500K, or else the revenue from it is just peanuts compared to a full retail title.

multiplat games tend to have the same price across PSN/XBL.

I doubt anyone would have expected 1 million sales on XBLA for American Nightmare. As you can see only very few games could do that without being bundled or handed over for free. The game hasn't received that great scores either, which is surprising since a less positive received game like I am Alive outsold it in the same week...
Anyway the userbase for it isn't the greatest either. AW sold 1.2m plus those bundle codes, of which we don't know how many have actually unlocked the game via XBL. Then reminding you that ~40% of 360 users don't have an online account to buy games, I would say they didn't expect much more than 500k lifetime.



Just added The Walking Dead Episode 1 thanks to FADE's new press release:

According to Gamasutra’s monthly Xbox Live Arcade Sales Analysis Zen Studios needs to be gearing up for an office party or something. As of the first of this month they’re getting dangerously close to a total of 1.5 million DLC units sold. The physical number (based on leaderboards) on July 1 was 1,484,245 units across all the different DLC packs, and it could very well be that they broke 1.5 million as of today. Apparently folks love their pinball. Major congrats to all the hard-working gang at Zen.

Great numbers... Would be 1.5M if the service was available on Europe, only in UK though...
