With all this portable talk I almost forgot Microsoft was in the gaming business lol.

OT: Sounds good for the LIMBO devs xD. Does it also count the 10$ live increase?

Jesus Trials HD and Castle Crashers plowing through the sales! I heard CC breached 2m! Good news as that game was awesomesauce!

Bought Trials HD recently as it was on some sort of Special always liked it and played it elsewhere, deserves the sales as it is a blast.

Not surprised, they decided 1200 was the default price for XBLA games this year it seems!!

Edit - Eww double post ..

Gratz to LIMBO! and CC sells better than most new games, and it's how many years old? No wonder their next game is exclusive ...

Kinda glad Splosion Man > Comic Jumper. Hated Comic Jumper and this means they won't likely return to the franchise.

Got some LTD sales for the big XBLA sellers:

Trials HD ~ 1.026.333 units
Battlefield 1943 ~ 1.101.333 units
Castle Crashers ~ 1.351.667 units

Don't forget the 2 million numbers for Castle Crashers is based on leaderboards and since it can be played locally with up to 3 friends (maybe each with his own profile), the FADE number sounds quite believable.

Well im sure once we get some more data from Microsoft in a few hours we can compare it.

Castlevania didn't do well? That stinks, just bought another map for it to.

The best game by far is not even in top 10? I know it came out late, but still. How much did Super Meat Boy sell?
