So possible little more than 15 million game sales?


Minecraft made up a third of revenue, but it's more expensive than the typical xbla game. Especially considering most games have gone on sale and minecraft hasn't.

Considering the top 10 alone have sold 10.2mil and account for 50% of the revenue, $145mil, and considering most xbla games are cheaper than the $14.27 average of the ones in the top 10, it is certainly well over 20mil. Though it's hard to tell exactly how much it is because we don't know if the majority of games being sold are $5 games or $10 games.

Totally agree. Except Minexraft all others were ~1200MSP games and since other games see a price drop to 800MSP (sometimes even 400MSP) over the years it's fairly likely.

Impressive. Anyone have any estimates of PS3's online revenue in 2012?!


They dont give out numbers very often so my guess is no where near as much as this or they would be showcasing it.  Same goes to how active the community is for each game.  Company's tend to only show things that makes them look good. (most of the time anyways)

About $188M in 2012. Journey was #1 with just under 500k units sold.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Excluding free games, about 25M copies sold.

Sounds about right.  Where did you get that information from though?  We were recently looking for how much Journey sold a while back.  That is pretty good numbers making it the 4th best seller this year on arcade game behind Minecraft, The Walking Dead, and Trials Evolution.

EDIT:  I cant find anywere where it shows how much Journey has sold or how much PS Store makes so message me a link.

So PSN = XBLA minus Minecraft ?

With no Minecraft I find this impressive.
