Transistor Sells Over 600,000 Copies, Outpacing Bastion

Transistor is starting 2015 on a (super) giant note.

nice

[NewMonday]

incredible numbers for an Indy game, one of the best games of 2014, has the best one of the best RPG systems ever, hope they invest the funds into making a big AAA RPG.

Gettin' this game!

[3-4-5]

Almost bought both for under $10 combined during STEAM sale but the backlog is too big. So many games I need to play first.

I love the art styles in both though.

Bought Bastion. I loved it. Bought Transistor. I loved it. I look forward to the devs next release. I'm hooked.

[uth11]

it will be 600,001 whenever I get around to buying it! :P

[DarkOcelet]

Thats good to hear.

They probably would have reached a million if they released it on the X1 and WiiU. I'm baffled that small developers like this simply ignore gaming platforms like the WiiU/X1.

[Sevir]

I doubt they ignored it all together! Sony probably saw its potential and courted them given how sparse the first year would be for them with Big AAA releases, and then of course MS's Indie program wasn't fleshed out for xbo till late 2014. Sony was just on a big shopping spree courting the Indies so it made sense for them to go with PS4 since their indie program was simple and supportive.

[fermcr]

It was a good deal by Sony but it was a pretty stupid deal by Supergiant Games, accepting a few bucks to go exclusive and losing hundreds of thousands of sales. Well... it's their loss.

[dirkdady]

Reason is simple microsoft isn't indie dev friendly. Don't get me wrong Id@xbox definitely helped improve relations but devs don't easily forget and forgive. And judging by Xbox console sales gamers don't easily forgive and forget also.

YES imo this game really deserves it one of my favorites2014.

[ipach]

so glad to hear. that's nearly $1m in sales per person at that studio. way to go. well deserved

[Sevir]

Absolutely loved this game. Transistor is awesome. Can't wait for bastion to be brought to PS4 soon. These guys have some great talent. I'd love to see them mature to create a big AAA RPG in the future.

[MasterCornholio]

That's pretty good news.

I'm happy that the game is selling well.

:)

[OUROSMAG]

Not surprising, damn good game. Would of sold more if people didn't have strange hang ups about indie games.

[Skate-AK]

I bought the game a couple weeks ago but haven't played it yet. Congrats on the success. Can't wait to play Bastion for the first time.

Rockin' it. Well done Supergiant Games.
Everybody go buy the soundtrack too. It's amazing. http://supergiantgames.band...

I'm curious on the PC/PS4 split though.

The soundtrack is $8.99($1.00 cheaper) on Amazon.
