Well I have to say that I wasn’t expecting this. But I’m a Bastion fan, so it makes sense.
Losing out to Bastion and Fruit Ninja Kinect, From Dust managed to eek out a surprising 308,000 purchases.
However, it is not the XBLA’s top grossing game. The winner, both surprisingly and disappointingly, is puzzle game Full House Poker. Maybe the casual audience is more numerous than we think. From Dust only lost to Full House Poker by about 67,000 units.
What do you think? Was From Dust worthy of the sales?
