Good to know quality games still sell!

Data Design Interactive have been amazed to find that two of their first four titles that were released on Friday (Ninjabread Man, Anubis II, Billy Wizard and Rock n’ Roll Adventure) have sold out within the first three days of release. These four titles were released with a budget price of $19.99 in the United States.

I doubt they shipped that many, but it just goes to show how different publishers have different measuring sticks for success.

"gamers are ready to pay 60$ or games"

I hope someday someone will realise that if games could cost 20-30 and all games would sell TONS more. Even gingerbread games are selling at 20 bucks.
