Re: iPad? Really?

In Response To: Re: iPad? Really? (Hedgemony) : 2DBoy who made World of Goo had a fascinating blob about Ipad games. Here's a : snippet from them: "World of Goo’s launch on iPad gave us a new : perspective on that discussion. In the first month of sales on the iPad : App Store, World of Goo sold 125k copies (thanks to being prominently : featured by Apple). In comparison, World of Goo’s best 31 day period on : WiiWare was 68k copies (thanks to a mass mailing by Nintendo), and on : Steam it was 97k copies (thanks to two promotions at discounted prices). : So far, the iPad version is by far the fastest selling version of the : game, both in terms of number of units sold and in revenue generated. : What makes this even more amazing is that this is a two year old game : released on a platform that is less than a year old. The iPad doesn’t have : the benefit of an install base built up over several years. : In the short term, we still think that if an independent developer can get : their game on a console it’s a safer bet than playing the App Store : lottery, but one might wonder whether, in the long run, it even matters : who wins the PSN / WiiWare / XBLA race." : It's a viable market. : -Hedge. Look at that, reasonable commentary. Who woulda thunk it?
