Icon’s Self-Publishing Numbers to Date
It is 31st December, 2011 – last day of 2011. I thought it was about time I did a full count of how many game units we have sold/freebied. I was surprised it was a little over a quarter of a million – sounds like a lot of people!
It is 31st December, 2011 – last day of 2011. I thought it was about time I did a full count of how many game units we have sold/freebied. I was surprised it was a little over a quarter of a million – sounds like a lot of people! I had around 100,000 in my head so that was a nice surprise.
Alas a lot of the bigger numbers were free downloads/free promotions, but even so – I was really pleased with the numbers.
I thought I’d share them – and as such they are included below broken down into the different formats – iOS, PSP & WiiWare. I didn’t include PC as the numbers really aren’t worth including (probably about 20 units total!).
iOS
Bashi Blocks
iPhone 19,945
iPad 5,523
Family Games Fun
iPhone 18,203
iPad 24,591
TOTAL: 68,262
WiiWare
Figures Removed at the Request of Nintendo
PSP Minis/PSN
Bashi Blocks
83,595
Arcade Darts
16,069
Arcade Air Hockey & Bowling
24,818
Arcade Pool & Snooker
3,410
Arcade Bundle

Family Games
8,829
Pool Hall Pro
3,012
Vertigo
960
TOTAL: 146,691
GRAND TOTAL: over 250,000
So there we have it – Worldwide there are over 250,000 copies of our games kicking around on various platforms.
I’d like to think that a good percentage of that number enjoyed playing them, and I want to say a big thank you from all of us at ICON to everyone who has played any of our games. Hope to see you again in 2012
