Bastion sales hit 1.7 million

Supergiant Games reveals new sales milestone for downloadable role-playing game; 90 percent of sales came after original launch month.

During a presentation today at D.I.C.E. in Las Vegas (attended by Joystiq), Supergiant Games founder Amir Rao revealed Bastion has sold 1.7 million copies across all platforms.

 

Rao's discussion focused on how the company went about porting the game fromXbox Live Arcade to PC and mobile devices. He said not shipping the game simultaneously across all platforms did not hurt its sales.

In fact, Rao said over 90 percent of all Bastion sales came after the game's original launch month on XBLA during summer 2011. "We didn't lose an opportunity by not sim [simultaneously] shipping," Rao said.

Bastion is Supergiant Games' first project. It was released on Xbox Live during July 2011, with subsequent releases following on Steam, the Mac App Store, Google Chrome, and iOS. For more on Bastion, check outGameSpot's review.

I presume much of that was from Humble Bundle and Steam sales.

Presuming what he's saying is accurate, the game sold 170K after a month on Xbox Live Arcade. Not bad, that's why Xbox keeps getting exclusives. Xbox also gives these games hype when they go to other platforms.

Love Bastion. One of my favorite games this gen. Completely beat the xbla version and bought the pc version along with the soundtrack during humble bundle deal.

He said over 90%, so that would be less than 170k.

I wonder why this game never released on PS3?
