Microsoft Hides Sales Figures to Community Games Devs

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, Xbox Live Community Games developers have told MTV that Microsoft is not providing sales data of Xbox Live Community Games, forcing them to rely on word-of-mouth and lists published by Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hryb in his Major Nelson blog. MTV contacted Microsoft and here what they had to say:

"All Community Games developers will be able to access sales and download numbers through the [XNA Creators Club] Web site by March."
