Board 8 > Bastion sells 500,000 copies on XBLA / Steam.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well deserved.

"First off, this week marked a major milestone for us when Bastion sailed past half a million copies sold. Recent holiday sales on Steam and Xbox LIVE Arcade put us over the top. We’re happy to have this many people playing and to be in a position to make more games on our own terms. When we set out to make Bastion, a sales number like that seemed astronomical to us, so it feels great to have hit that mark. It goes to show that a lot of folks out there like what we’re doing and want us to keep going, which is great, because we intend to stick together as a team and do just that."

This was definitely a great year for indie games.

Why not sell 150k or whatever and make 150k x $50 AND THEN re-release the game digitally for like $10? >_>

they've only sold like 50K through november, I doubt they make it to 150K! it's already being heavily slashed, I got it for $30.

and developers don't do that because they don't want people to think they are going to do that for every game, plus they don't want to piss off those who paid full price!

(though to be fair, I think most rayman fans would just be thrilled to see more people play the game).

Rayman Origins was definitely worthy of a retail release -- it has far more content than most games like it. Ubisoft's problem was releasing it in the middle of November.

Good job SuperNiceDog

Quality and length wise? Definitely. But I don't think it sells well eitherway because it's 2011 and it's a 2D platformer without a nintendo mascot.

I'm just arguing I think it would have made more money via digital distribution

what a disgrace tbqh

also rayman needs a pc port just so i can actually play it

Maybe. Ubi wasn't too smart with Rayman like they should have been. It was never going to be a big seller, but it would have a better shot in February, maybe even at $40 normally instead of $60. I don't think it needed to be a digital to do well, though.

"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

Rayman was sold to compete with their own game from a different division.


Yeah, Ubisoft are morons.

Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude.
SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude

Bought Bastion when it was $7.50 on Live. Looking forward to trying it out.

Watch and you'll see... SuperNiceDog own me... in the Guru!

Awesome. Bastion is the best download-only game ever.

For your SuperNiceDog.
At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza

I bought Rayman and didn't like it that much

sounds like I'm in the minority on both of those things!

I got in on PC, kinda bummed PS3 got shafted for a release.

Just started playing it on Steam. It's great so far, glad to see it was such a success!

Bastion was fantastic, and I can't wait to see what that team puts out next. I'm glad it's sold so well.
