When Undead Labs publicly released State of Decay on the Xbox Live Marketplace several days ago, the company was pleased to announce that 250K units was sold during its first forty-eight hours.
In addition to Minecraft, a well-known game already, being the fastest selling XBLA game on the Xbox 360, Undead Labs were surprised to be the second-best selling XBLA game on the Xbox 360. For a developer who never pushed a physical copy to load into shelves, no worldwide multimedia push, and a studio with no millions of followers, they are pleased and pretty much surprsied. While it may seem hard to believe, the game is really good and that 250K units sold is well deserving.
Check back with us in a few days for our review of State of Decay. We apologize for the delay!
