Indie Games channel. Used to be called the Community Games channel, which is to say, it's the bit of XBL that isn't Arcade and is way more wild west. So, if anyone can upload there, do they make any money?
Short answer: they can, but you're up against a zillion and one contenders, and it's probably a very sharp power curve (as, I'm told, the iTunes appstore is: "a nightmare").
Gama has the details: combining @majornelson 's data for the top 20, along with further data from developers via the XNA forums...
Interestingly, apps are surfacing there:
DrumKit allows players to take control of Rock Band or Guitar Hero drums without the official games. Aquarium HD and myFishTank turn Xbox 360s into habitats for digital fish, and Rumble Massage and A Perfect Massage let users go crazy with the controller’s rumble ability.
The nipper's going to love the fishtank. Checking that out when I get home.
