Wow, that's insane for a digital download. This low budget title is going to generate more money than many retail games.

This is the difference between the PS Store and Xbox Live, things sell. Too bad people just didn't get the XBone strategy. So, the 700,000 people that bought this so far, are they headed to Gamestop to sell it next week? No, obviously not, they knew they bought a digital download

so 20 times 700,000= a State of Decay 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the next 10 years or so.
