Not Everybody Is Losing Money (Just Ask PopCap!)

Times are tough. You’re no doubt sick of hearing that. But it’s true! Money is tight for developers and publishers the world over. Unless your name is Nintendo or Activision. Or, in this case, PopCap.


The developers of Peggle and Bejeweled, having picked up some sales data from the NPD Group, announced today that retail revenues were up 85% in 2008 over the 2007 numbers.

Impressive! Even more so when you remember that the NPD Group don’t track digital downloads, so sales were in all likelihood even higher.

Goes to show, even in tough times, you make good games, people will buy them.
