Bastion Sales Exceed 3 Million, Transistor Sales Pass 600,000
Supergiant Games has announced some impressive sales numbers for its pair of games.
Bastion released in 2011 (you can read our review here) starting on Xbox 360, but has moved onto a number of other platforms (including a release on Vita, soon) and has sold more than 3 million copies.
Transistor released last year (you can read our review here) and is currently selling faster than Bastion did according to Supergiant Games with 600,000 copies sold over about eight months.

Our Take
Transistor and Bastion are great games from a small developer, so it is exciting to read about their financial success. It means we're very likley to see more games Supergiant games in the future.
