You are lucky Minecraft is going to release on retail so it hurt will the XBLA sales =p... Otherwise it would not be to hard to reach 10 million on XBLA. Also the next update releases this friday :).

Retro city rampage has passed 17k on leaderboards
Dust an Elysian tale will pass 100k this wek..

Going to be a very succcesfull month with big releases :).



 

best game on the list is by far Shadow Complex, such a shame it hasn't broke a million but crap like fruit ninja and bomberman live has.

It's still an arcade game though even if it's available on retail, so it will still be counted here (as it would be impossible to separate the versions).
Though if most people who don't have their console connected to LIVE are going to buy it, then the numbers here shouldn't change that much.


About Retro City Rampage...
I think it's hilarious how such a small indie developer calls out the XBLA version for selling "much" worse than the other versions even though he only sold 100k copies on 5 different platforms.
On top of that the other platforms (except Wii) had a 3 months headstart and have only sold double the XBLA version. (40k Steam, 35k PS3+PSVita, 15k Xbox, 5k Wii)

And he not got money from the Wii version...Because he not reached the treshold... (sell that minimum amount before you get the money).. Then again people always bitch, while it is kind of awkward to see Behemoth staying with MS. If MS was so bad while they could work on their game for 5 years? (yeah already 5 years since castle crashers)..

BattleBlock Theater is out and has a current Metascore of 88 (4 reviews).
If someone already bought the game, I'd be happy to hear some leaderboard statistics :)

CastleMiner Z has hit 1.5M sales on the Xbox! Making it one of the most successful indie titles of all time, let alone on the Xbox.

I have to thank each and every one of you for making this game such a success. I could not have done it without you, and your support has allowed me to continue working on the game and the CastleMiner franchise. Thank you everyone!

Stay tuned the original CastleMiner game is dangerously close to 1M sales alone!

Congrats to CastleMiner Z.  I have to say great job once again for this thread.  I'd like ioito find a way to put these on the vgchartz numbers as well as they are likely pretty accurate.

I'd also like to se someone be able to do PSN numbers as well.  Although since people share games it may be a little harder to do.

Also what qwould you consider a good 1st week for a XBLA game?
