The Android version was the highest-selling one before, right? Pretty impressive stuff.

Yes, before they had said the 3DS version had outsold the iOS version but not the Android version.

Holy crap.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/03/gunman_clive_eshop_sales_surpass_combined_totals_on_ios_and_android

Quote
In the latest twist that provides an indication of how the title has truly surged to popularity on the eShop, Bertil Hörberg has now taken to NeoGaf to state that the eShop release has now out-sold the iOS and Android versions combined, going on to say that the "sales are starting to show a slow but visible decline now though, but they're still at very a nice level."

This, folks, is how you do it.  Make a great product, price it right and price it evenly and folks will buy it.

More reason to love Bertil - This conversation totally happened on Twitter:

but hey! progress! it's nice to see them reach out to the little guys, although it feels quite reactionary.

holy ****, they also got rid of the sales threshold! in the past, a game had to sell X number of units before it got paid...

Quote from: PHIL_FISH
if a game never reached the threshold, the developer never got paid. even if you sold 4999 and the threshold was 5000, you would get nothing

it was FULLY ABSURD anti-developer stance that im glad to see they are finally getting rid of.

i know people who developed a game for nintendo, certified it, released it, sold some copies and never saw the first dollar. ever.

the reason fez isnt on nintendo platform isnt because i don't like nintendo. it's because of the insulting way they treated indies.

@PHIL_FISH Then how come you're releasing on steam? Greenlight is a far bigger offense than anything Nintendo has done since the SNES era

@BertilHrberg i didnt have to go through greenlight because im special.

@PHIL_FISH Sure, but when you're talking about insultingly bad treatment of indies, right now Valve would be at the top of the list

Phil never replied to Bretil after that.  I swear this could be a PIETriots FloatingHeads conversation without even being edited...

What exactly is Greenlight doing that is so bad? I don't keep up with the indie scene. It feels like that conversation had a lot more in the background than it first appears.


Also, I fail to see how this factors into hacking the 3DS.

It's in the 3DS Hacking thread because that's where the flow of conversation went.

Jools lamented the idea of the 3DS getting hacked, claiming that he'd lose too many sales, releasing games for the 3DS would become unprofitable and he'd stop supporting it.  Refusing to recognize things like the iPhone has been hacked and that there are other reasons your game might not sale outside of hacking.

As for Greenlight - there are a handful of articles out there on it, but no one seems to want to talk much about it.
http://tigerclawtv.blogspot.com/2013/03/why-steam-greenlight-is-bad-thing.html

This one sums up one of the major issues - You pay Steam $100, enter a popularity contest that pits you against all the other indy developers, then Steam determines who wins based on some top secret backroom criteria.

Yeah this talk should probably branch out to a new thread about 3ds sales in general or about indies on nintendo console.

And Greenlight is just a disgrace, it's amazing this trainwreck is still in place.

PS. it always bugs me when people source those nintendo* aggregator sites when actual news came from other place.

Phil Fish really is a douche. Between that Twitter conversation, his comments about Japanese developers, and his latest BS on Fez proves it. For those that havent heard, he said Fez likely wont appear on the Wii U unless Nintendo pays for it and does all of the work themselves (in other words, he wants to get money for literally sitting on his ass and doing no work).

Worst part about Phil Fish: he often has reasonable ideas behind the things he says and is an intelligent guy... but the way he verbalizes ideas is, intentionally or not, completely asinine much of the time.


Sometimes I wonder if he suffers from a disorder that prevents him from understanding social ramifications properly. (Not saying that as a joke or a shot at Fish.)


Also, the twitter exchange is great.

Jools penned a blog regarding Steam/Greenlight.  Interesting read. :D
