If he was so hard up on the money aspect why not put it on PSN and PC also?

...Because it takes money that he doesn't have to put it on PSN and PC?

shio - Care to offer any proofs that Braid will outsell the XBLA version with all the wonderful PC piracy going on?

 

Didn't Bejeweled sell over 5 millions on PC? Piracy or no Piracy, the truth is Digital Distribution is booming on PC (Steam increased over 150% last year).

 

Isn't Bejeweled also a massive success and an extemely accessible game to get into? Something's telling me Braid may not find that same Bejeweled audience since it contains an abstract story and is maddeningly frustrating at times. I do wish for it hit 5 million but I don't see it happening. Do you have any digitally distributed success stories of heavily artsy games? (Not meant to start a fight, I just really don't know of any)
