Forums - Nintendo - 2D Boy: WiiWare accounts for about 60% of World of Goo sales

A portion of a Reticule interview with 2D Boy's Ron Carmel and Kyle Gabler:

The Reticule: How successful has World of Goo been? Has it fared best on the PC or on the Wii?

Kyle: It’s been about 8 months since we released World of Goo, and our heads are still spinning. Now that we are really old men, we have taken time to reflect that quitting our jobs to make an indie game was not entirely a horrible life decision our parents and friends thought it would be. The little goo balls did change our lives though, and now nothing we ever do will ever be received as well, so nobody should ever buy games from 2D BOY anymore. WiiWare is responsible for about 60% of revenue. Windows/Mac/Linux versions account for 40%, with retail accounting for less than 2% of revenue so far.

2D Boy is right. They are like musicians in this case- it is almost impossible to top your first hit.

Good to hear the Wii is making them some money.

My girlfriend bought the PC version (and I have the Wiiware version). World of Goo is an excelent game (and very very creative), I can't believe that it's the first project of those guys.



This is pretty ironic, i was just about to purchase World of Goo on Wiiware now :)



How technical is your game?

"WiiWare is responsible for about 60% of revenue."

I don't think piracy accounts for revenue

Also, if you're talking about sales, well... a pirated copy ain't exactly a sale, is it?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

The 90% piracy is why that happened. If all those had been sales, PC would have handily outweighed it.

 

Of course, it's foolish to pronounce every pirated copy a lost sale



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Nice, good to see the wii moving units for them. It's a great game to get
