The people at Ubisoft who made the decision to pick upTrialsdeveloper RedLynx probably had a pretty terrific weekend. It wasrecently revealedthatTrials Evolutionbroke the record for “highest grossing day-one sales” among Xbox Live Arcade games.

I wonder how long it’ll take to reach a million copies sold?
