Limbo sold 300,000 copies

http://kotaku.com/5616574/well-limbo-certainly-sold-a-ton-of-copies

Creepy indie platformer Limbo is one of the surprise hits of 2010, not just with critics, but with the game-buying public, too.

Developers Playdead have told Gamasutra that the game has sold over 300,000 copies since it was released last month. For a game about a creepy little kid dying a million times in a world of black and white, those are good numbers. Actually, no. Those are great numbers.

I just hope most people got the game. For five minutes, I was frustrated and horrified. For the remainder, it was one of the smartest, and more importantly funniest games I've played all year.

I can't think of a game that deserves selling like crazy more than Limbo, to be honest.

yes a very short game deserves to sell like crazy only to encourage other developers more to make their games even shorter then they already are these days.

It is short, but it's also one of the most atmospheric and meaningful games this gen.

As a Sony fan I am choked this game is exclusive to 360. I really hope it shows up on PS3, or even PC/Mac so I can play it. Looks like an awesome game and I'm glad it did well.

this is very good to hear. we need more games like limbo.

Whenever I get enough MS points I'll get it. Seems like a great game.

:lol:

the reason you say such things is because it's only on the 360.

I bet it ruins your agenda that it's not a shooter either:lol:

Awesome sales.

Enjoy having to buy EVERY XBLA game to cost $15. Thank those 300,000 gamers that bought them.
It's no different from the MW2 map pack really, both are an experiment to see if people are willing to pay $15 to for something that's worth less. I sincerely congratulate you all with the new $15 price point for every new released XBLA game.

Shame that it's overpriced.
