How are sales?

Just wondering how Darwinia+ has been selling on XBLA? I've been pretty absorbed in Mass Effect 2 so I haven't even gone to see if they're promoting it on the main XBLA store pages. I certainly hope it's doing well. I really liked Darwinia, but don't personally crave multiplayer experiences that often. I really do hope it does well, though, because I for one would really love to see Subversion.
Any plans for an XBLA port of DefCon?
That's a game that I loved so much I would even buy it again to play it on XBLA. I would think you'd have MUCH less work to do on it than Multiwinia since you wouldn't really be creating a whole new game, just porting an existing one to Xbox and making sure the controls are good. It's already been play tested, balanced, etc...
I think that game would be a huge hit on xbox. It would have huge appeal to that audience, I think. And if Darwinia+ doesn't generate enough cash to fully pay for Subversion development it could be a short project that could generate some additional revenue.
Defcon is even the kind of game where DLC packs would sell well. A pack of wargame scenarios, new weapons, maybe a custom world map...that could be a nice little revenue bonus for not a lot of extra effort.
