Game Room At Year One: Part 2: DLC

Earlier, i did a post on Game Room at year one - from the release date.  i decided to try and do a post changing the time frame to coincide with the start of weekly content releases - which, for the most part, usually happened.  The first non-launch game pack was released on May 5, 2010 (so i'm a little early).  i decided to leave the outlier launch game packs (pack 1 and 2) mostly out of the discussion. 

Updated Total Information: Estimated Ranked Sales (87.5% of leaderboard) as of May 3, 2011 - 327,714 Ranked Games.  i'm only using the bottom range of estimates as i don't feel like using irr.  So, it is a pretty safe bet gross revenue exceeds $1 million.  Centipede is the first game to cross the 30K leaderboard barrier (might have been helped a little by Windows Phone 7 version sales, but minimally).  Using my "irr method" (used to badly estimate leaderboard levels),  the upper end of the range is now 432,513 unit sales.  

Estimated Aggregate Unit Sales (through May 10, 2011): 327,968 - 432,513

New Metric Alert:
Like most stats i use, this one is fairly simple.  What i wanted to find out was the average ranked game sales per game pack (truncated).  i'll give you the pack 1&2 also for reference - but it won't be in the chart.  Sorry i messed up some of the charts by forgetting to label them. 
* GP 01: 9,704 / GP 02: 10,694 / GP 03: 3,791 / GP 04: 2,131 / GP 05: 1,438 / GP 06: 1,136 / GP 07: 1,408 / GP 08: 481 / GP 09: 987 / GP 10: 391 / GP 11: 1,079 / GP 12: 986 / GP 13: 678

Now, because everyone has been clamoring for it... Game Room launch packs vs Weekly Release packs in chart form.  Game Room sales are somewhat front loaded - if you break out the content by release date only.

Now for the DLC game pack estimated sales (using 87.5% of leaderboard) by format.




Generic Disclaimer 003:  i am in no way affiliated with Microsoft Game Studios, Krome, Game Room, or basically anything else (ever).  i'm just a hominid with way too much time on his hands and a desire to play around with numbers (occasionally).  i just do this for fun.  Due to the nature of data collection method (and available numbers), my numbers may be off significantly.  If you want to use this "information" do so at your own peril.  If the powers that be would want to give me real numbers, that would be awesome.
