Retailers requested the most PS4 stock, but Wii U has been our best seller!.We’ve currently sold through about 70% of our retail stock.Interestingly, the retail release did not help the digital release! When we launch on another system we normally see a small boost on the currently existing platforms, but that wasn’t the case with retail.It’s possible this could change over the course of the year though. The sales data looks more like we’re selling on a new platform rather than a percentage of people moving away from digital. It appears that retail sales did not cannibalize digital sales at all.Into 2016, the platforms now sell about 1:1. In 2015, each month we typically sold twice as much at retail when compared to digital.Toys”R”Us started selling Shovel Knight late in December, and unlike most the other stores, did not have pre-orders available. Also, some stores have an advantage due to time sold. For example, Target sells only Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions in stores. Note, not all the stores carry all platforms of the game. So far at retail, we’ve sold more than 200,000 units: Hopefully, it is bringing more kids, families, and an all around wider audience to our game that otherwise wouldn’t have considered it. Although it was a huge pain, at the end of the day, we think our game benefits from being available at retail. We’ve learned a lot of crazy things about retail: how small the margins are, how long and arduous the process is of creating and shipping discs/carts, how difficult and finicky retailers can be to work with, and much, much more. Our big push last year was getting Shovel Knight at retail with the game and the amiibo figure. In an average month, Nintendo 3DS almost sells twice as much as Steam. Steam is our best seller, but it’s also benefited the most from discounted sales.We typically average 25k-35k units a month.On Nintendo 3DS we sold about 50% more than Sony. The first 6 months of sales on all Sony platforms are equivalent to the total first 6 months on just the Nintendo Wii U.Contrarily to the previous point, March 2016 was our worst sales month since our initial release.In November 2015 we actually sold more units digitally on Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Steam in North America (our initial release platforms) than we did in the same month the previous year, November 2014. In general, the game sales are still very strong.Some interesting facts about our sales trends: We plan to release in Japan in June on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U. Also of note, we have still not released the game in Asian territories. The Amazon Fire TV also released in September of 2015 – which is rather late when compared to everything else and a tall order to catch up to.

Although Amazon Fire TV does not have enough sales to appear on the graph, it’s a bit tricky to measure because Shovel Knight was packed in with 50,000 consoles, and those sales are not accounted for in the graph.

Keeping our game at full price has been a major part of our strategy as we believe players will be more invested in the game and therefore hopefully, enjoy it more if it isn’t bought at a bargain bin price. Every platform except Sony’s systems have gone on sale during some major holidays, but none of them have ever been sold for more than a 33% discount.

The Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Sony PS4 are also naturally higher in sales as they received full retail releases in October 2015.

Our Sony and Microsoft versions did not come out until April 2015, 9 months after our initial release on PC and Nintendo systems. Before you save the graph above for your next platform vs platform discussion, there’s a few key items that are worth keeping in mind:
