I haven’t often seen information about sales on PSN, XBLA and Wii Ware, so any news about it is good news. According to the developers blog, the game is estimated to have sold around 55000 in its first week. That sounds like an excellent number to me assuming sales are not completely front-loaded, and the post says “the sales didn’t just die after the first few days, as they do with some games”.
You might ask why I care? Well, Braid is awesome, mindbendingly so. It’s also different, being a 2D platformer with some very unique mechanics, and one of the most interesting games on XBLA. So, I’m keen to see it succeed in the hope that more of these indie, experimental games might get produced. The post says, in this developer’s case, that “it looks like I will be able to make the next game, without needing to get a job that would interfere with that.” Great success!

The price is a little high though. I'm hoping it'll come to the PSN soon after the timed microsoft exclusive is over. Hopefully it'll be cheaper as well :)
I don't know, it's one quarter the price of a new boxed game, and believe me it's worth more than a lot of those R600 games (from my perspective, of course). I hope it comes to PSN and to Steam - the more the merrier! And, ahem, I can't buy XBLA titles without some region circumvention efforts. I would say Wii Ware, but it's too big for that, although it could be reduced in size in the move to SD resolutions.
