Default Top Seller Already?

I turned on steam today to see that 'Dwarfs?!' is not only in the New Releases section, but the Top Sellers list as well. Has the game really been doing that well, or is it just a form of advertising? To me it seems that if it is already a top seller than that surely means very good prospects for the future!

Almost all new games are in there for first couple of days, cheap ones at least. I hope the good sales continue and I look forward to what comes next from po2

It also got a nice bump in free advertising by Total Biscuit and Simon/Honeydew from the Yogscast both doing videos on the game yesterday.

They have huge followings on Youtube and probably helped get the word out about the game better than most sites have.

Its been selling very well - some free marketing certanily helps, as does being in the rotation on the front page of Steam... not to mention that there is a free trailer, which lets people try the game - and realize that it is ridiculously good fun

Just going to quote this one for posterity... you know, the free TRAILER... that lets your "try" the game...., unlike of course the demo, which lets you watch the game....
