Hi Che, Glad to hear Rail Racer is beginning to pick up sales. Yeah, 220 isn't a fantastic amount, but it is a reasonable number seeing this list only has around 200 to 250 subscribers at any given time. The Audyssey Magazine is likely read by more than that, and it is difficult to say how many people you have reached that decided not to buy the game for one reason or another.
