Joruney has sold 450k.  Glad to see it do so well

WTF! that's messed up, Dude!

Journey is NOT doing well. It totally deserves to do TE numbers.

Better write him a PM...

He started showing XBLA sales a long time ago on VGC. He kept track of leaderboards, looked at mygamercard.net game ownerships and could thus get valuable informations. Furthermore quite some XBLA developers shared some sales informations so he could connect his estimations with real sales data.
I guess he could have also connections with some PSN/Steam/Android/iOS/XBLA developers who share sales informations of their games etc.
Also Sony and Microsoft release best selling PSN/XBLA lists (without numbers) which also helps.


that's crazy. Yeah ill definiteyl shoot a PM his way.  I know you do the leaderboard tracking as well but i would think it would be extremely difficult doing that with every single game and he posted the PS Store and XBLA.

450k is a great amount for arcade games.  That would make it the 4th best selling arcade game this year behind Minecraft, Trials Evolution, and the Walking dead.  At least i think that is 4th?  I id have to check again

Actually it's "just under 500k" which is great for a digital game.

Why you not ask him? He is doing it for some time though. For the older members that is no news. I think I asked him myself some time ago..Going to check my wall =p.


I did, he signed offline and i dont know how active he is so i thought id ask everybody else since ive never heard of this.  Right now it just doesnt make sense to me but id love to see a cllaboration with him and vgchartz.  Arcade games like Minecraft, trials, journe, flower, the walking dead, limbo, castle crashers and several others has done very well and id love to see how much they have all sold.

This was one of his early work on VGC. Looks like a lot of work for me too :)

What the hell where are you guys seeing 450k for Journey. I can't find numbers for PSN games only Steam.

Thank you.  THis really has me interested.  And that is awesome that Joruney has sold 450k.  Glad to see it do so well

Humm where do you see that?


I read it wrong, it said 450 titles not 450k.  He said in my last thread that it was right under 500k though.  I dont see where the numbers are on his website :/
