Digital distribution title specialist doublesix, one of Kuju Entertainment’s regional studios, has announced its frantic PSN action game Burn Zombie Burn has achieved sales of 70,000 units.
doublesix also anticipates further sales, pointing to the longer life cycle of digitally distributed titles.
James Brooksby, Studio Head of doublesix commented: “We’re clearly delighted that ‘Burn Zombie Burn’ is performing well. It’s our first experience of digital console publishing and we’ve found the entire process very exciting and rewarding.”
He added: However, I do wish that all the platform owners would make their digital sales figures public. We feel this lack of transparency is hindering the development of these channels. We’re happy to back this opinion up with the release of the figures for ‘Burn Zombie Burn’. The game has now reached our internal sales target of 70,000 copies sold worldwide and that’s without the upcoming expansion packs, bundles, comic, player guide, Home space, competitions, Asian release etc.
“As a developer trying to decide which platforms to develop for, as well as what type of games to make, we’re currently in the dark regarding real sales performance for digital platforms and that makes it increasingly difficult to make realistic plans. I’d like to see some kind of verified sales charts on all digital systems to encourage more developers to support these channels and to help make sensible investment decisions.”
Burn Zombie Burn is available now on the Play Station Store priced £6.29.
