Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox Live arcade Sets new record

zhao3gold on 04 February 2013

Congrates to MS. There were so many great Arcade (exclusive or exclusive console version) games in 2012. I expect it will continue especially the 3 games announced in E3 2012 and the long-delayed Crimson Dragon.

So PSN = XBLA minus Minecraft ?

Depends really. I have no clue what this numbers includes, so maybe you can help once more Ben ?

With or without Minis, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, PSV games ?


XBLA = XBLA games, not including anything that is from the Indie section, or Games on Demand

PSN Games = PSN downloadable games, with a scant few titles that may be considered analogous to Games on Demand (RE4HD, Metal Gear Solid Collection, Ratchet series, Jax series). No PS1/2/Vita games. Although I could probably make an estimate for something like VII, which is probably around 600-750k sold.

As for how the data is obtained... That is classified at the moment. Probably will tell later this year.

As always thank you for you work. I hope we'll see more press releases from you this year ;)

Also I noticed a small mistake on your chart. Trials Evolution sold over 1m units and the average price is $14.73 so it should generate more than $14.730.000 but it doesn't.

Damn right



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Ah. That'll be taken care of shortly.

All this money can't be right, STAGE keeps saying downloadable games are small and irrelevant.
