Indie Game Developer Finds Success - 825K USD Sales In Week1
>> From alleyinsider.com:
[QUOTE]
Jonathan Blow, developer of the game Braid, an Xbox game that's somewhat similar to early 'Mario' games for Nintendo. His game has only been on sale for a week, but he estimates it's already sold 55,000 copies for the Xbox 360. At $15 per game, that's $825,000 in first week gross sales. Microsoft takes a cut -- we don't know how much -- but that's still a really impressive debut.
Jonathan said that with his projected sales (which he didn't break out), he should be able to make game developing a full-time gig. And while not everyone will be as successful as he's been, it's solid evidence that indie developers can now build a substantial business making games for consoles.
