Game Room - The June 2011 Report

i decided to do my first monthly installment of Game Room's leaderboard check.  i tried unsuccessfully on my Xbox 360 four times (once leaderboards were down, 3 hard freezes).  i would strongly recommend using the PC version if you can (as the Xbox version is highly unstable).  The PC version will still crash on exit 100% of the time.  Well i guess it is June, so here is my report

The data is from leaderboard checks on June 11th and 13th (i think).  My last check before then was May 9th.  i will try to do another check sometime in (early or mid) July.  i'm not sure if i'll put up a prediction post for July. 

Observed Increases:
* Asteroids: 6,000 (+1K)
* Asteroids Deluxe: 30,000 (+10K Windows Phone 7 impact?) P
* Battlezone: 5,000 (+1K) P
* Beamrider: 600 (+100) P
* Breakout (2600): 700 (+100)
* Foodfight: 2,000 (+1K)
* Galactic Warriors: 600 (+100)
* Missile Command (2600): 600 (+100)
* Off the Wall: 200 (+100)
* Plaque Attack: 600 (+100)
* Stampede: 2,000 (+1K)
* Submarine Commander: 90 (+10) P
* Thin Ice: 700 (+100)
* Tower of Doom; 800 (+100) P
* TwinBee: 2,000 (+1K)
* Yar's Revenge: 10,000 (+1K) P
* Gravitar: 3,000 (+1k) P
* Missile Command: 5,000 (+1K) P
* Space Armada: 8,000 (+1K) P
* Tutankham: 8,000 (+1K) P

The total observed increase (based off leaderboards displayed only) for the one month plus period was 20 games for 20,810.  That doesn't strike me as overall very good, but it is if you consider the state Game Room is in.  Maybe the Windows phone version is spurring sales on the Xbox/PC side (or maybe the games were close to increases anyway).

My predictions were at about the usual level.  i missed half of the increases and 15 of my 25 predictions may have been premature (10 weren't, even though some of them were repeats).  The bold "P" denotes a game that i said might increase in the period (see my prediction post).
