Microsoft - XBLA is on fire! - View Post

those are some pethetic numbers for Alan Wake, surely they can't be correct, only ~100k? I hope it does better on Steam. I really like Alan Wake and I though the reception of American Nightmare was pretty positive.

Considering what Fez is those numbers are quite good. I wonder if it will have Braid like legs, that game only did arround 55k in it's first few weeks, but went on to sell very well.

I'd assume Fez and AW would have legs in the long term. I enjoyed the demos for both, but the problem is they're both very good games competing with many other good games as well as a pile of must-have games. At this stage the XBLA library is massive and while I think MS has done a decent job to keep the chaff down, that just means that the majority of games are good to very good, so it takes an exceptional game to stand out.
