据pocketgamer报道，发行商NaturalMotion Games公司推出的手机游戏《Backbreaker Football》目前下载量已超过320万次，该游戏的销售势头未减，NaturalMotion又传来好消息，该游戏续集《Backbreaker 2: Vengeance》发行第一周的营收已经超过《Backbreaker Football》的7倍。

不过除了这个消息外，该公司并没有公布《Backbreaker 2: Vengeance》的具体下载数字。

游戏邦认为，《Backbreaker 2: Vengeance》能有如此辉煌的战绩，主要得益于第一款游戏的高人气下载量。另外，《Backbreaker 2: Vengeance》的售价是2.99美元，几乎是第一款游戏（0.99美元）的三倍，这种相对价格优势应该就是《Backbreaker 2》营收超过前者的原因所在。

如果《Backbreaker 2: Vengeance》首周营收是第一款游戏的7倍，那么按照这种情况来估计，新游戏的下载量至少应该是上一款游戏的2倍。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

NaturalMotion claims Backbreaker 2′s first week revenue is 7 times more than the original

The fact NaturalMotion Games’ latest release – Backbreaker 2: Vengeance – is already generating seven times the revenue its predecessor managed in its first week only means something because the original game sold so well.

To date, Backbreaker Football has notched up downloads in excess of 3.2 million.

As such, any suggestion that it’s being outpaced by its successor would appear to be especially good news for NaturalMotion.

Download derby?

The publisher hasn’t gone as far as to detail actual download rates, however, instead only making the aforementioned revenue stat public.

Indeed, given Backbreaker 2: Vengeance retails at almost three times the price the original game did – the sequel coming in at $2.99 to Backbreaker Football’s 99c – the game’s comparatively higher price will account for much of the additional revenue.

As a result, to achieve seven times the original game’s first week revenue rate, Backbreaker 2 would needed to outsell its predecessor by more than 2:1. （source:pocketgamer）
