Surprised I Am Alive sold so well.
Castle Crashers is still doing so damn good!



It's just that simple.

I always wondered why CC was selling so well. I believe its still either #1 or #2 for average user rating on XBLA, which means that its one of the first titles any user will see when browsing that category.

Those Minecraft numbers are so intense. Good to see Walking Dead and Alan Wake up there.

And look at castle crashers still selling like a beast XD

Digital sales number would certainly be nice but the companies seem hesitant to report them. The NPD sales are self reported. Linking a Pachman video that explains it. Pretty interesting but you might already this. (Warning: It's Michael Pachter) http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/79m3s0/pach-attack--games-on-tv-and-npd

I really dont like Pachter but that was a good response about NPD.  Kind of upsetting that it wont happen anytime soon though :/




       

Castle Crashers is the ultimate arcade beast and it deserves it.
I still hardly ever buy games for arcade though as they are caught in between full $60 releases and cheaper android games in terms of over all quality. The android games make them look over priced and so does what I get out of a $60 game.



I think Alan Wake deserved more sales. Its Meta Critic score is unfairly low as well. I think it is one of the most valuable and enjoyable 1200ms arcade game on xbla. I have put couples of hours in that game. That surval mode is so amazing. So it is not miracle that I'm in top 100 in leaderboards :D
