Forums - Sales Discussion - Update: State of Decay second best day one sales in XBLA history

The interesting thing here is that the tremendous hype and media coverage for The Last of Us probably helped out State of Decay. It's hard to watch people gushing over a zombie-ish game without wanting to kill zombies yourself. I don't know if it was planned, but that's good release timing.

nah, i think it sold so good because there was already much hope and interest for this arcade game. it just looks super fun even with those problems it has, that's the reason. 

day z is also not so successful  because of tlou. but you could say day z helped it maybe a little bit since people who play day z on pc will probably also be interested in this for 360.

holy shit this game had very little hype and marketing. very nice indeed



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

it had a lot of hype under 360 players and that since last year. at least all the people i have in my friends list talked always about it.

don't know

but still,  i often heard about it in the 360 voice chat. maybe it was only my friends list but i also saw all those ign videos and the developers playing it on twitch and so on...

It's still impressive though that it did so well without being in an MS promotion.

Summer of Arcade could see some heavy hitters. (Last year it wasn't thaaat great)



Very well deserved. Best arcade game in years.



The game has a total of 219905 on the leaderboards right now.



Was just reading up on this game...sounds excellent. Might wait for a sale or special, though.



This game deserves every sale it gets, awsome game!
