GDC09: PixelJunk Eden profitable after one day of sales
Publishers looking for a quick buck don't need to focus their efforts solely on the iPhone. Sony's Susan Panico touted the values of PSN development by providing a case study on
PixelJunk Eden, Q-Games' third PSN-exclusive title. Panico told the GamesBeat audience that "
PixelJunk Eden made its return on investment within 24 hours." Sales after that period become pure profit.
Of course, the success of
Eden is a little unsurprising, considering the popularity of
PixelJunk Monsters. Regardless, it's impressive that a small independent studio was able to create a trusted franchise exclusively through the PlayStation Network. With so much green made off of
Eden, it's no wonder Q-Games is working on an expansion for the game.
Eden Encore will be available
in April.
