Vancouver-based developer Sillysoft Games has made $140,000 (that's Canadian dollars) in a month from its Lux DLX iPhone game, according to this article in local paper Business In Vancouver.

That's based on 25,000 sales of the game in the App Store at $7.99 a pop, with Sillysoft taking the regulation 70 per cent share of the revenues.

"I’m tempted to not make anymore desktop games and just do iPhone games," founder Dustin Sacks tells the paper.

He also claims that the success of the iPhone version has boosted sales of the PC edition, and that the free Lux Touch iPhone game has been downloaded more than a million times.

The same article talks to fellow Vancouver developer IUGO, which doesn't cough up any figures, but does say that it's now only developing iPhone games, rather than the J2ME work-for-hire projects it used to take on.
