Last month, we reported that Gunman Clive had generated more sales on the 3DS eShop than on iOS, but not on Android due to a massive spike in sales. Today, Gunman Clive creator Bertil Hörberg tweeted that sales of the 3DS version have surpassed Android sales, as well. This makes the 3DS version of Gunman Clive the best-selling version of the game.
Remember, aside from 3D and physical controls, Gunman Clive is the same across all three platforms—same price, same gameplay, same everything. While I like the mobile market, the fact that this game was able to get more sales on the 3DS than iOS or Android is very encouraging. If anything, it proves that there’s still a place for dedicated handheld gaming, at least for the time being.
