Towerfall "sold a measly 7,000 copies"

[fireballs]

A follow up on the other towerfall article here

http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/29/t...ny-sales-ouya/

First off with how dedicated OUYA inc. seemed at promoting Towerfall these numbers are extremely sad.

Second Julie strikes again. Not sure if this has been said before but OUYA inc is sometimes their own worse enemy, effective yesterday Julie needs to stay out of the spot light. Lets get a dedicated PR person and direct all comments through them.

Plus just like anywhere else but here if you read the comments you can see that the average person still has a very negative view of the OUYA.

dude it's a game that has been out almost a year compared to a moth and a half on the PS4. It's not just that, if Towerfall was one of the best SELLING games and was heavily promoted by OUYA what are other devs going to think, especially if they don't get special treatment? Maybe create a bame to get 1,000 sells a year? To me it's nothing to do about the PS4 or yellow journalism and all to do with 7,000 sells in almost a year. Nobody is falling prey, to the media or all the excuse makers for OUYA.

The equivalent of Towerfall Ascension for Ouya will only be available in a couple of months, so it is totally unfair to compare sales numbers right now.

Not sure if you are reading my posts or not but I'm not comparing numbers, this has nothing to do with other platforms. It has everything to do with 7,000 sales in about a years. If this is one of the best selling games how many sales are middle of the pack getting?

I see your point.

being the best game on OUYA isn't a huge deal, but it is nice

OUYA is not the place for developers to directly make money and/or 'go big'. The reality might seem cruel, cold or hateful, but that is just how it is.

U also hav to think that the user base is pretty minimal to start with let alone any new or veteran users r gonna both b pretty weary about throwing down $15 on a game on a new system.

I hear you but the point is it's one of the top games on OUYA for sales regardless of price. So all the $1 games don't have that excuse but most are selling way less than 7,000 copies per year.

I thought sales were kind of low but didn't expect them to be this low. Considering that OUYA probably has 160,000+ consoles in the wild and as far as top games there isn't much competition and OUYA gave all the KS backers free credit I would have thought the top games would have 20,000 to 25,000 SALES. If i'm a potential dev this is a huge red flag for me.
