Full PS3 game downloads:

Top of the pile last month was Square Enix’s fine Tomb Raider re-boot, with BioShock Infinite not far behind. Bear in mind that Tomb Raider had a three week headstart on Irrational Games‘ acclaimed adventure. Darksiders 2 continued to hold up nicely at its reduced price, while Resident Evil 6 returned to the top 10 following Capcom’s Resi sale mid-month.

  8. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (New)
  9. Call of Duty: Black Ops II (New)

PSN games:

Telltale Games’ phenomenal Walking Dead tie-in did great business off the back of a limited-time price cut. Dirtbike racer Urban Trial Freestlye showed sturdy legs in its second month on the chart and God of War II HD made a triumphant return thanks to a pre-Ascension discount.

PS Vita games:

Urban Trial Freestyle held on to the top spot for March, with RPG Ragnarok Odyssey and Persona 4 Golden both showing impressive staying power in second and third. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Timedebuted in sixth, though was only on sale for three days of the month.

I wonder if we will ever get sales numbers?

You get them every quarter


Oh good, can you tell me the last Journey number...?  I've always struggled to find it.

The only thing we have is from FADE

"Journey was #1 (in 2012) with just under 500k units sold."



I did not know, but there´s also Journey in physical support, allong with Flower and Flow.

"Journey was #1 (in 2012) with just under 500k units sold."


500k? Lifetime?  I'm genuinely shocked.  I'm sure people here said it was way past 1 million by now.

To be honest those people just threw out numbers without checking any other digital services or they just looked at Steam numbers and then thought that every console downloadable game would sell similar.

500k in 10 months is a pretty good achievement. Only few digital console games make it past 1m and even less within their first year.


Also I'd like to add that Ben is usually sorting the games by revenue, so Journey was #1 in terms of revenue in 2012. The Walking Dead sold more single episodes.



Without actual numbers these sale charts are pointless.

The UK charts you post every week doesn't have actuel numbers either... I do agree though some numbers would be nice.

True, but the numbers are eventually leaked on NeoGAF.



I have the charts for NA if I may post them
