Cuphead sold over 1 million copies

Let's be real here GOG and Windows Store are not adding much at all for this sort of game. Maybe a few 10k's maximum

There is no separation between Xbox and Windows Store anyway , so it's a moot point.
I mean it's all a moot point really , it's a great game. We should all be asking why more people haven't bought it considering there are 70mllion steam users.

Windows Store is also difficult to figure out probably. With play anywhere and the game only being digital. So everyone having the play anywhere version.
 
Awesome news! MDHR really deserves it after years of hard, often underappreciated work put into achieving such an art-style and great game to boot. I hope they can turn all their revenue around towards new projects in the years to come, whether or not they can match Cuphead's success.
 
Amazing response, really glad for MDHR.

I expected XB1 to lead sales, but looks like Steam is the lead platform (~576K units on Steamspy)
 
Now their next challenge awaits, keep it safe and make a sequel with the same proven art and mechanics but more (ambitious) stuff? or go for a totally different style of game and art and risk a commercial failure and being labeled as 1 hit wonders?

What do? What do?

Steam will be always the lead platform in term of sales for indie games, even Ori managed to sell close to 2 million units on Steam, between normal edition and Definitive Edtion.
 
Will buy when my x comes in! Such an awesome departure from most games, well visually anyway. Haven't spoiled myself on too many gameplay elements yet!

at launch? not really

On the long run yeah, thats pretty common, but in cases like this, where a console platform is promoting the game heavily, the consoles usually push more on launch period
 
Cuphead |OT2| 2 Cups 1 Million

Very glad this paid off for them, considering all they had to do to make it in the first place.
