Is Terraria 1200MSP or 1600MSP?

great game on pc, no clue how the 360 version is but probaby also good. i really hope battleblock theater will be a success as well, that games just deserves to be successful.



Goodness. That's a lot of unit sales.

Between that and Battle Block Theater, March and April are gonna be crazy for sales.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Congrats to Terraria. BattleBlock Theater is at 26,000 in its first 24 hours so i hope it can manage 75-100k in its first week. Amazing game

I honestly think Battleblock will do poorly overall. Having beta access made was enough to to turn myself and lots of others off from the game moreso than a demo would.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

It's indeed showing not a great performance at start (compared to the other big sellers and Terraria), but poorly might be a bit of a stretch.
I guess they improved a lot after the beta ? An 88 Metascore doesn't seem to be so bad.

I have this feeling that The Bohemoth are expecting Castle Crashers like success. So by poorly, I mean quite a bit less than CC. Yes I know CC sold like a billion downloads.

Because it's the first downloadable game this year that could surpass Minecraft (probably only for one week though).

A good comparison would be that the 360 version of Black Ops 2 sells over 800k each week in 2013 and Gears of War Judgement is the first game to beat it with 1.2m, but only for one week.
