Indie Game Sales Statistics
If you’re an (aspiring) indie game developer, this is a topic you should be interested in! I know I am! 
Although some indie developers say that sales data from others is irrelevant, I think it’s interesting to see how others are doing. And it can be motivating to see what the possibilities are!
Recently, GameProducer.net, a very interesting blog for game developers, started publishing sales statistics for several games, including Cactus Bruce and the Corporate Monkeys, Xmas Bonus and Democracy.
But, although these games seem to be doing very well, keep in mind that there are a lot more games doing a lot worse! I’m experiencing this first hand, with less then stellar results.
Other sources for sales data are forums, like the excellent IndieGamer forum, and the iDevGames forum. The latter has a thread in which several Mac game developers disclose their download and sales stats!
And maybe some day, when I have decent sales to show, I’ll put my own sales stats in this blog also…

Hi there. I just wanted to drop by and tell that I will post new sales data as soon as I get some info. I already have one more data coming online in just few days.
I will publish sales from all kinds of results - whether they are bad or good - or something in the between.
Thanks for letting others know.
