Taking a look at March XBLA numbers

By Richard Mitchell

With March NPD numbers set to roll out this week, GamerBytes has posted its own analysis of Xbox Live Arcade sales for the same period. A good idea, considering NPD doesn't include digital sales in its figures. It's a rather exhaustive piece, so here are a few nuggets.

  • Watchmen: The End is Nigh started strong, but fell off the top ten in its third week of availability.
  • Peggle has done quite well and is showing signs of staying power.
  • Hasbro Family Game Night seems to be paying off for EA, with combined board game sales landing the game in third place in its third week of availability.
  • The promotional "Deal of the Week" prices for Braid and Alien Hominid pushed both games back into the top ten.
  • March saw both Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and A Kingdom for Keflings get knocked off the top ten. SSFIITHDR and Keflings had been in the top ten for 15 and 19 weeks, respectively.
