Vella also presented sales figures for various Capy Games’ titles and Double Fine’s Broken Age. Vella went on to say that, “Shovel Knight broke the impression that indies don’t sell so well on Nintendo…” To compare, 14% of Shovel Knight players used a Sony platform, and only 4% of people were playing it on a Xbox console. However, 30% of people played it on the Nintendo 3DS, and 20% of the audience came from Nintedno Wii U owners. Shovel Knight performed best on Windows PCs, with 32% of people playing it via Steam. Such a move is easier to understand why, considering the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U both had strong sales performances for the game. One of the titles was Yacht Club Games’ Shovel Knight, which is set to be the first indie game with amiibo support. Last week at Gaming Insiders, Capybara Games’ Nathan Vella revealed sales information discussing how various games from independent developers have performed on various platforms.
