I'm curious to know how well Worms is doing on the Marketplace? I've never seen actual numbers released for an XBLA game, so it's possible that MS doesn't permit this.
If that's the case, can you give us an expression of how well it's doing - less than expect, as expected, better than, etc?
I hope your efforts are paying off, and continue to!

Major Nelso usally (end of week) post the top 10 Arcade games played during the week.

The best thing to do is to log in with an account and get an intentionally LOUSY score. You can always create a free extra Silver account to do this. Then, scroll all the way to the bottom and see how many people have posted a score. This isn't 100% accurate because some households have multiple accounts and some buyers may not have posted a score yet. It still gives an estimate which can be compared to other games.

78,153 unique gamertags have passed Challenge 1 in less than 20 minutes. If you take longer than 20 minutes (shame on you), Worms won't even bother to record your time.

It's doing rather well. We haven't had confirmation yet, but we'll likely bleat about it in the press when we do.

It's up to 99,982 gamertags now. Nice increase from last week.

That's great numbers - although some of that would be people with multiple gamertags on one 360 - so it wouldn't accurately define the sales numbers. Still, it's nice to see that it's a good success for the fine folk at Team17, and even better to see such an increase in a week that included the release of Castlevania - possibly the most widely desired XBLA game released yet.

Actually, the sales are larger than the leaderboard impressions. We can't make any official comment yet though.
