While the pair definitely prefers the development freedom offered by the downloadable marketplace, they said they're still not sure whether they'll be targeting a retail or an eShop release for a planned 3DS version. The Steam sales were largely driven by a holiday promotion sale, McMilllen said.Īt a late-February GDC presentation on the game's hectic development, the team said cross-platform sales for the title had surpassed 400,000. The new numbers were revealed in an interview with portable-focused site Pocketful of Megabytes, and combine an estimated 200,000 sales on Xbox Live Arcade and sales "approaching 400,000" on Steam.
Super Meat Boy creators Tommy Refenes and Edmund Mcmillen - the self-styled Team Meat - said the title has sold roughly 600,000 copies across Xbox Live Arcade and Steam.
