Shovel Knight is currently at 769th position on the best-selling list, which means that a bit less than half the GOG catalog has sold less than 12000/6000 copies.

Sorry for that, never had a clue if the other poster is ironic or not.

^^^^ There are also plenty of "deluxe edition" or "soundtrack" in the later half of GOG catalogue.

That's because retailers wouldn't stock the game otherwise.

Wow, good.
Assuming that they have, at least $1 from each sold copy, 12000*1$=12000$.

12000$, wow.

They are rich.
Congratulations :)

It's actually NES style music.

Here's probably my favorite track in the game (actually added by the free expansion):

(Yes, this is how it sounds in the game.)

You're right, 12,000 copies is not bad and in the grand scheme of things, a good number of sales overall. On a similar note, I wonder how many copies of "The Witcher 3" were sold on GOG vs. other sales venues.

Since you mention the 'Upcoming' tab, it's not really "in your face" on the main page, kind of subtle gray tab and easy to miss if you don't know it already exists.

I'm still waiting for "Crawl", which has been on the upcoming tab for quite some time now; definitely living up to its name for time to appear for sale here on GOG.

It'll surely be here before Nekro does. :P

do we know for sure that the numbers of sold copies matters for the top, or maybe the gross selling total value?

OK, GOG, you got me, about hour after I complain about free DLC getting too little exposure you made annoncement post for one for Thea. I am sorry. :-)

Yet, Shovel Knight's creators were able to sell it for higher retail price.
And they are small studio. I doubt big distributors don't have bigger leverage to push it through if only they wanted.

The point is, that's 34% for one platform alone, while this 66% is across multiple platforms (obviously would be higher).
Individually, no console platform outsold the PC.

Yeah, okayyyyyyyyy...

Quit being condescending, you said it was primarily a console game.

Man.........

It sold 66% of its 1 200 000 on consoles, with 200 000 units in miitomo ! I know the pc master race, but common !

Yes we know that, because when two games arrive at the same time, the more expensive one is is often on top of the charts on the main page, but the cheaper one is in front in the games catalogue. Which can only mean that it's total revenue on the main page and units sold in the catalogue.

The reality is shovel knight is a copy of many platform games us old timers have played to death. AKA shovel knight was not the second coming of 8 bit style platfom/action game innovation. I'm sorry but the NES graphics really are past there time, while they are a charming throwback I would have liked to take the art team of say awesomenauts and apply it to a game like shovel knight. There's no need to release a game with crap 8 bit graphics.

Many of us old timers are burnt the hell out because of how bad the industry has been for the last 20 years, the last 15 years of drm, dlc, mmo/f2p has been a kind of nightmare for any of us who gamed in the 90's and aren't braindead. The lack of modding tools/level editors and game servers you can actually run yourself.

Thanks to valve/blizzard/everquest/world of warcraft, the entire game industry is increasingly releasing locked down games to a new ignorant/tech illiterate generation of players who are ignorantly destroying gaming culture by funding these criminal organizations.
