PixelJunk Eden’s Success Story

03/24/2009 Written by JohnDraisey

SCEA’s Susan Panico gave some insight into the advantages of PSN development by focusing on PixelJunk Eden, Q-Games’ third PSN title. Panico stated, “PixelJunk Eden made its return on investment within 24 hours.”

All sales afterwards were pure profit. It’s very impressive that a small, independent studio was able to have so much success with the help of PlayStation Network, and is a testament to Sony’s ability to push digital distribution as a strong business model for development teams of any size.

That’s pretty impressive. They had a good mix of circumstances going for them: unique and quality game play, low game price, and especially the momentous success from Monsters which had already boosted them near the top of the PSN downloadable games list of best developers/studios. Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but Q-Games will probably be around for a while.
