Steam is the top-performing platform when it comes to Shovel Knight’s audience. However, Nintendo’s platforms are right behind.

During the Gaming Insiders event in San Francisco last week, Nathan Vella shared the breakdown of Shovel Knight’s audience. The game has seen 32 percent of its players on Steam, 30 percent on 3DS, 20 percent on Wii U, 14 percent on Sony platforms, and 4 percent on Xbox.

Vella noted that “Shovel Knight broke the impression that indies don’t sell so well on Nintendo”.
