yay! most downloaded on xbla!

congrats devs! monday night combat is now top downloaded game on xbox live arcade. idk why it is not top rated though. im actually surprised this wasnt top downloaded on day one!

Not that I'm complaining, but your sources are... (Fill in this blank)

It's the top downloaded this week. When you go on the marketplace on the 360 or the site and click best selling it organizes the games based on their sales in the week. If you go to browse on the 360 however, and do it there, then it shows the most downloaded to least downloaded games of all-time.

It's not really that surprising as most XBLA games are the most downloaded in their week of release.

Ahh sweet. I would love to see some numbers though.

Before the counter got broken in the leaderboards, i believe they were 300k+ on day 2

It's to be expected, with all the high level advertising it's gotten for being in Summer of Arcade.

Off Topic: Poor Ion Assault

Congrats Devs, count on me supporting you guys. Love this game.

great to hear, this is a great arcade title and a load of fun to play!

When you check the leaderboards, down below there is a number of total entries, Crossfire mode is the highest one with a little more that 49k entries, I imagine there are some players that didn't bother play Crossfire, so my guess would be between 50k-65k sales at the moment.
This is just guessing from my part, don't consider it fact.

I believe Battlefield 1943 is the score to beat, breaking 1 million just a month or two ago?
We should dig up the sales info for that to see how well MNC needs to do month to month to beat them.

I wouldn't bother. I can't imagine it would even be remotely possible without a name like Battlefield. It's an uphill battle for these smaller dev games. But every small step is a battle won.

If it were a new IP on a disc, then yes. But it's part of the arcade, and heavily advertised, and most games in the arcade are not part of a franchise (BF 43 an exception to the rule) , or simply ported from a very old franchise. It's completely possible in the arcade.

Of the 5 SoA games, only Limbo and MNC are new IPs.

Totally deserved, this game is just awesome.
Don't forget to rate it on your xbox guys!
I can't believe this game is not in the top yet.

Only during SoA it's like that. Besides, Castelvania is one of the aforementioned old ports.
