This is why companies cannot ever ignore Xbox Live. It really does have the market of online in console form. Arcade stuff sells, Add ons sell and the sheer amount of regualr users dwarfs other console online stuff. It's a force to be reckoned with.

Not bad. I have it at 970,000 using my methodology, so I'm not far off

They said they would release More Maps if it became successful.... so, give me more f'en maps!

It was probably too successful. Now they want us to buy BC 2.

That's pretty close, and a great milestone for XBLA as a service. Out of curiosity, can you share with us how far Castle Crashers still has to go to sell a million by your estimation? Do you think it is possible?

I think Castle Crashers sold more than million already.

I have Castle Crashers at 1.14 million, FYI. Battlefield 1943 certainly beat it out in terms of speed to 1m, but I don't know if BF1943 will surpass it in terms of Life to Date sales, as BF1943 isn't quite having the legs of CC - for comparison, Castle Crashers was #4 last week on Nelson's list, while BF1943 was #7. I expect that to be indicative of where BF1943 and CC will sell in relation to each other for quite some time.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
