Penny Arcade breaks XBLA sales record
The first installment of the episodic Penny Arcade game, “On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness,” has broken the three-day sales record for an initial offering on Xbox Live Arcade by earning $330,000 over that time. The previous record holder was Worms HD.
The sales figures for the game proves that arcade download offerings do not need to have small price points to be successful, as the game clocks in at $20, much more than the typical $5 to $10 price for other games on the service.
The success of the game certainly draws heavily from the strong fanbase the comic has among gamers, bringing the colorful art style and notorious Penny Arcade humor into a solid RPG experience.
