Xbox Live Arcade has enjoyed a record-breaking revenues month in October, with good news all round for (most) purveyors of digital gaming. The sales were led byDead Rising 2: Case Zero, followed closely bySonic the Hedgehog 4.
Estimated Top 10 Titles for October 2010 (by units sold):Dead Rising 2: Case Zero(Capcom) – 104,000 Units (400 MS Points)Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1(Sega) – 98,000 Units (1200 MS Points)Super Meat Boy(Team Meat) – 70,000 Units (800 MS Points)Comic Jumper(Twisted Pixel) – 55,000 Units (1200 MS Points)Plants vs. Zombies(PopCap) – 45,000 Units (1200 MS Points)Limbo(Playdead) – 33,000 Units (1200 MS Points)Costume Quest(Double Fine) – 31,000 Units (1200 MS Points)Castle Crashers(The Behemoth) – 28,000 Units (1200 MS Points)Trials HD(RedLynx) – 26,000 Units (1200 MS Points) Dead Space Ignition (Sumo Digital) – 26,000 Units (400 MS Points)
I really hope that this gets people to pay more attention to digital stores like XBLA and PSN. There’s some great content out there that I think publishers often do a poor job of highlighting. With that in mind, go buyLimboandThe UnderGarden!
