Forums - Microsoft - The XBLA Sales Thread (Fez over 250k !)

Update for the 2nd week is here:

Sadly no new Minecraft numbers yet. Let's just hope that 4J Studios or Mojang announce 7m sales soon.
Also, Incredible State of Decay debut. At this pace it's easily going to be a million seller. Almost half way there.

Shadow Complex's number is okay?

define "okay".

Profit wise ? Yes certainly.
Potential wise ? Could've been better.
Up to date ? The numbers are half a year old and it added 27k in 2012, so it should be around 640k now.

That kind of "okay".

 

Last time I checked I swear I saw 660k on the leaderboards. I gotta play it again to certificate it.

Sure that might be possible. Maybe it was on sale a few weeks/months ago.
I'm always happy to see some more recent numbers.

cool thanks, though I don't round that way

Now if you have anything else, let me know



State of Decay now over 500k !

That deserves its own post. Congratz !



MCVUK

275,000 physical games were sold in the UK last week. Xbox Live title State of Decay sold 250,000 units in two days in the same week.

It’s an observation made by UK journalist Lee Bradley and is one that perfectly illustrates the changing dynamics of the video game market.

Of course, there are factors to consider. State of Decay has performed exceptionally well on Xbox Live – it’s the fastest selling new IP of all time and the second fastest seller behind only Minecraft. And its sales numbers are global.

And last week’s UK market – worth just £6.02m – was the lowest on record.

Nonetheless, that an indie Seattle developer can with its debut release sell more units than the combined power of every powerhouse publisher and platform holder in the UK is a stark statement.

A huge array of triple-A blockbusters have been announced and detailed in LA this week. Yet last night a comparatively tiny indie game called Fez 2 was the only title trending on Twitter.

Triple-A or bust? Triple-A is bust, perhaps.
