Rez, Ikaruga hold record for best XBLA launches
In news post yesterday,
Penny Arcade's Gabe revealed the top four best launches ever for
Xbox Live Arcade, with the launch window being the first three days of availability. The list is as follows:
- Rez HD, 25k units
- Ikaruga, 22.5k units
- Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 1, 16.5k units
- N+, 13k units
Honestly, we're a bit surprised by the initial success of
Rez and
Ikaruga. Not that we didn't want them to succeed (they really are awesome games), but we didn't expect to see Xbox Live community rally so quickly around years-old re-releases. Now, if we could only see data for
worst XBLA launches, or even total
Rez playtime using multiple controllers as
trance vibrators.
