I thought it would be interesting to see how Orbyx fared in each of the different territories available on the XBox LIVE Indie Games, so I put together a couple of charts.

This first chart shows how many relative downloads and sales Orbyx received in each country.

As you can see, the USA is by far the most successful market, with the UK in 2nd place with about 11% of the downloads.

The next image shows the conversion ratio for each of the countries, i.e. the number of people who bought the game versus the number of people who downloaded the trial (note that the numbers are percentages).

Not surprisingly, the game has sold better in the English-speaking countries (Canada, UK, USA, and Sweden(?)), with the lowest conversion ratio in Japan. Given the potential size of the Japanese market I would be interested to know how the Japanese language games on the service have fared there and whether it would be worth localizing.
