Super Meat Boy has sold over 600,000 units since its release on the Xbox 360 in October of 2010. One month later it was released for the PC via Steam. Despite being released on the 360 first, the PC version sold 400,000 units, 200,000 more than the console. The game's creators Team Meat admit they sold more on the PC because of discounts and special deals. Discounts like the one happening right now, you can get Super Meat Boy on Steam for 50% off at just $7.49. Don't you want to be purchase #600,001?

It was on Steam for like 2 bucks or something a few months ago. It seems like this website has become nothing more than a marketing machine for the industry.

I should clarify: That is all that needs to be done for the numbers to make sense. As for the rest, well, someone needs to buy Nikole an MLA handbook.

@EVA zero: All that needs to be done is take the words "on the XBox 360" out of the first sentence. Nikole has been guilty of butchering the english language many times before, but this one is relatively minor.

Dear G4 team,
You guys are in serious need of an editor. In this article you claimed that the PC version outsold the 360 version by 200,000 units. You also claimed that the 360 sold 600,000 units and the PC sold 400,000 units. Nikole needs to correct this article now.

Great game, more people need to be exposed to it. It's fun and challenging and has a good sense of humor.

I wonder how many copies this(article) helped sell. I know i immediately bought it. I'm 600,001 maybe?
Probably not.

360 is crap as always. But no I didn't buy it. I don't trust Steam after what I went through the first time. If they want my business they'll bring it to a better platform.

I think the reason for it selling better on PC is just that Steam usually has better deals. If Microsoft really wants to sell the game on the 360 then they better have a deal that slashes the price by 75% for one week
