State of Decay Breaks XBLA Sales Records

A post to the official Undead Labs website makes us aware of the fact that State of Decay has become the second-fastest-selling title ever to hit Microsoft's XBLA marketplace, having sold over 250,000 copies in just the first couple of days since its release. Apparently the only other game to do this well was Minecraft, which enjoyed a lot of success and fanfare on PC prior to its release:
We have sold more than a quarter million copies since we released the game two days ago. State of Decay has smashed all kinds of records. The only game that ever sold more on XBLA this fast was Minecraft.an already hugely popular game.

There just aren't the words to describe the feeling.

This was you. We did not have an ad budget. We didn't have a physical copy to load onto shelves, no worldwide multimedia push, no studio reputation with millions of followers. All we had was what we believed was a great game and a great community. And make no mistake, a solid game is not enough, not in 2013. Plenty of great games wither away in obscurity. This train got rolling because you got out and pushed.
This news pre-dates the weekend, too - it would be interesting to know how well it has continued to sell over the past 48 hours or so.
