Jeez. You guys spent a lot of money on Xbox Live…and I mean a LOT of money! According to the Forecasting and Analyzing Digital Entertainment group (or FADE), gamers spent $103.4 million dollars on Xbox Live in 2009 — most of which was spent on downloadable games.
Estimated Top Titles by Revenue, 2009 (Average Price):
- Battlefield 1943 (EA Dice) – $12.5 million ($15.00)
- Castle Crashers (The Behemoth) – $7.3 million ($15.00)
- Trials HD (RedLynx, LTD) – $7.1 million ($15.00)
- Shadow Complex (Chair Entertainment / Epic Games) – $6.1 million ($14.38)
- Family Game Night (Hasbro) – $4.2 million ($9.53)
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Capcom) – $4.2 million ($15.00)
- Magic: The Gathering (Stainless Games) – $2.8 million ($10.00)
- Worms 2 (Team 17) – $1.8 million ($10.00)
- Peggle (PopCap Games) – $1.8 million ($8.86)
- Turtles in Time: Reshelled (Ubisoft Singapore) – $1.7 million ($10.00)
Couple of things you should note here.
- Despite complaints from the gaming community, you guys don’t seem to mind spending $15 on an Arcade title…
- …Especially when most of those $15 titles released in the Summer of Arcade — the only missing SoA game is ‘Splosion Man at the price of $10.
- And just how The Behemoth’s Castle Crashers managed to hit the #2 spot when the game came out in 2008 is anyone’s guess…
