The game actually needs some decent hardware, that might be a problem. I'm sure it's possible, but it might look significantly worse.Still no mention of the 360 version? I guess it's definitely dead...

It was a joke, dude. There is less activity in a thread like this so I imagine things get overlooked.
Its a great game. I am about 10h into it (I like exploring and retracing steps after I obtain more abilities).
I'm curious to see how this game runs on low end gpu on pc or on Intel's processor gpu. You could always buy an Xbox 1 controller and play on PC if you choose.

Not bad. My guess for Xbox One numbers: 65-80k. Reasonable?

That seems low. It's been high in the top sellers on the Xbox store so it could be higher than PC.
That's a really good number for a $20 2D platformer that didn't have any sales yet. Did it get good marketing? Not like it's a known IP or anything.
edit:
For comparison:
Rayman Origin Owners: 163,870 ± 15,683
Rayman Legends Owners: 144,660 ± 14,736
I am deeply sorry for insinuating that I was port begging, of which I genuinely wasn't.
Bish, have mercy.
Am guessing by your original post you were referring to their next title as per the thread title otherwise
.Anyways always good to hear when devs are successful with well praised projects.
That statement was said as an assumption not fact.
Who knows, but going by posts on Neogaf lots of people don't even know this game has a PC version, and the XBO version didn't have to go up against Cities Skylines, Hotline Miami 2 and Pillars of Eternity (all of which outsold Ori by a good margin). Could be more.
Is that based on leaderboard info?

That's great news!
It was sitting at the top for best selling games at release so I'm not surprised.

It would be nice if someone could check the X1 leaderboards for us. It's not scientific, but it would be nice to see.

Good to see some of the smaller teams get a big win. Need to check this game out soon, probably on Steam.
I wonder if Rare is working on anything 2D. Clearly there's a market for such projects.

Steverulez did some digging on Rare and it looks like they are using Unity for one of their games, so a 2D game is likely. Many are guessing it's Battletoads.

It was purely a shot in the dark guess. I'm assuming indie games sell better on Steam than on Xbox.

It's Microsoft published and was pushed a lot on the Xbox storefront, though, so sales would be a lot higher than an ID@Xbox game that is just thrown on the store without much advertising.
I mean it's possible, but I have a feeling it sold better on XB1 than on Steam. Mainly due to less competition on XB1 and the fact MS has been pushing it hard as an XB1 game.

happy for their success, but very disappointed in how long it is taking them to release a patch for the game's issues.
Only other port it'll have is to 360. The team isn't very big I don't think.
Ori released into an extremely competitive environment on PC.
With Hotline Miami 2, Ori, Cities:Skylines, and Reign of Kings all releasing on essentially the same day.
All of those titles are sitting around 200,000 sales, with the exception of Cities:Skylines which is nearing 1,000,000.
a 360 port... maybe.
Pretty respectable for Ori to do as well as it has on PC during that period. It was a hectic release schedule. I wonder how the XBO sales look but I'd imagine it's in a similar range. It got a good amount of marketing from MS respective to it's size and the good word of mouth kept it high up in the ratings/sales charts for some time after launch.
Always encouraging to see a great new IP do so well.

3 versions of a high quality indie game from a small team is still pretty impressive. The success is much deserved.
1) Port begging is banworthy, particularly if it is off-topic for a thread or derails a thread
2) Stop assuming that if someone isn't banned for something that it is allowed. It's FAR more likely that we just didn't see it. Do you see every post on GAF? No? Well, then, why do you expect us to?
3) If something bothers you, check this really cool link out. You can put a moderator's name into the recipient box and it will arrive in front of a mod just like magic. Report stuff you think is against the rules. Help us out.
4) Backseat modding is also against the rules. Derailing a thread with "OMG PORT BEGGING!!!!!!!!!" could lead to a ban as well. See #3 above.

Their next title is most likely a Microsoft title.
Superpowers? Idk.

Good to hear. I'm looking forward to more Ori or whatever else Moon chooses to work on.
