According to a top ten list of all Xbox Live Arcade purchases, Midway's classic arcade titles, Gauntlet and Smash TV are selling extremely well, ranking second and third respectively. Topping the list is the ever addictive, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved.
These sales statistics should bode extremely well for Midway's continued support of the Xbox Live Arcade. This success should also raise the probability of the Mortal Kombat series making an appearance in the Xbox Live Arcade. Luckily with the planned Street Fighter II release on Xbox Live in March, Midway is going to have some significant pressure on them to come up with an experience that is on par with what Capcom is planning on delivering.
