Joystiq is reporting that Supergiant Games' Amir Rao mentioned Bastion's total sales at DICE and discussed the game's multiplatform strategy. With 90% of the 1.7 million sales occurring after the month launch, it does seem like the staggered release strategy turned out successful:

"We didn't lose an opportunity by not sim [simultaneously] shipping," said Rao. He pointed to his employment experience at EA, and simultaneously shipping Red Alert 3 for PC and Xbox, as an example of split focus.

Bastion's slow multiplatform creep has been successful, with over 90 percent of sales occurring after its original launch month. Rao didn't mention any more upcoming ports of Bastion, but says it's the number one request they receive at Supergiant.
