Avatar showdown is currently at the top of the list for current best selling Xbox Live Indie Games. I'm not sure what this is based on (sales in the past week maybe?)

To be fair they've gotten themselves quite a lot of publicity from youtube, i don't think this really reflects the quality of the game.

People go bonkers for games with Avatars in them. The rating typically reflects the quality more so than top weekly sales.
