Indie Games / Small games sales figures?

cochtl · Jan 2010

I'm compiling some info together regarding the sales of indie and small games across all platforms (well except for the iphone, wii and DS/PSP) and would like to know if anyone here knows of or has come across sites that show sales figures such as unit sales, best guessimates, press releases, etc.

I want to show peoples that taking part in a small venture can be worth it and that other people have taken the plunge.

Thanks!

You could probably ask the guy making "Love" its in alpha or beta stage right now, but its a payed beta so he should have some figures and real figures coming in before too long, its a paid month mmorpg of sorts.

@ rooster: I was asking if anyone else other than myself might have info regarding sales for indie games.

I'll post what I have come Monday though. Iphone apps probably have the most transparency atm, but our ZeroGear buddies over at NimbleBit have some pretty useful info about their own Iphone releases.

Why are you ignoring psp, with their new psp mini's program?

Its only a relativley new platform, but its another avenue to look at

.

Also the cool thing is you can play the minis on the ps3 as well, as they use some sort of crazy uprezzing tech to scale up the games on the ps3. They dont look half bad too.

cochtl: I understood what you meant, I was just thinking A- you might get more responses if people feel it's for a public cause rather than just for your proposal, and B- the info is probably very interesting to many members on polycount.

by the sounds of it you will post what you gather, which is good for people to know

If you look at the World of Goo guys they've shared quite a bit of info. http://2dboy.com/
