That is not what I was told 2 pages back.

This guy had the only common sense here. Literally NOBODY was talking about Towerfall after the PS4 release and then people still expected it to be over 250k on one platform with no question lol.

Maybe because it really doesn't confirm anything like that.

Early gen is the right time for indies to get a lot of sales. With few AAA titles out there to attract attention gamers get more into the cheaper indies while they await the big releases. Later in the gen the indies are fighting for attention bot with all the other indie games out there, and with the huge library of AAAs, especially the older AAAs which have dropped into the bargain bin price range. So releasing early gen certainly helped Towerfall, much as being a launch title no doubt helped Resogun sell too. Games still need to be quality though, people aren't going to buy rubbish to fill in time, so Towerfall has that going for it too of course.

Good to see these games succeeding regardless of the various factors that go into the success.

And why do so many nexgen games have "fall" in the title? Even Destiny has us fighting the FALLen. Is it the new meta?

So it grossed $500K. Which means 50K games actually sold, or less, across all 3 platforms, with Ouya making up over 10% of sales. PS4 version sold ~22K.

Because VGChartz is representative of the world.

Just to make clear... Eurogamer added that on the article.

"[Editor's Note: We mistakenly reported that Towerfall had sold 500K copies, when in fact it had grossed $500K in sales. We've since corrected amended the article and apologise for the error.]" 

This ^ it seems that anything that has to do with PS4 obviously is selling amazingly with no questions asked. Not realizing that the game is not that big at all. Those crazy numbers would have been close to $3m from the PS4 version alone.

This was a funny turn in this story.
So Towerfall has sold somewhere between 36-40K units on all platforms, considering it is over $500K now and some number were sold at $12.

So really, the big story here is that it managed 7K on the Ouya! Ouya burning up the charts. ( ;

Yeah but I consider Trials fusion more of a PSN(indie) game than a retail game =p.  Especially considering the history the franchise have..
