Digital downloads are making up a bigger piece of the market on consoles, and intelligence firm SuperData Research is shedding some light on exactly how big it is.

Digital console games generated $263 million in January, according to SuperData. That’s up 14 percent year over year. Grand Theft Auto and several Call of Duty games were the primary drivers in this growth, but SuperData chief executive and lead analyst Joost van Dreunen notes that horror games Resident Evil 4 HD Remaster and Dying Light were also big contributors. Sony’s PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 consoles also dominated by making up 63 percent of digital sales on console. Digital games on console, PC, and mobile is now a $49 billion category, and it’s only getting bigger — and Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all trying to get as big a piece of that as possible.

For the first time, SuperData is not just sharing how much money digital console games made, but it has broken down the top 10 highest-earning releases during the month.

Interesting to know that PS consoles have a higher digital attach rate.

I like how they confused Battlefield 4 and Resident Evil HD into Resident Evil 4 HD.

Umm... RE4 HD?? Are we sure thats the game you meant =P

Black Ops 2 *-*

So this excludes Vita/3DS? Cherry Picking I say!

I think sony supported crossbuy more often

So RE HD sold around ~500k, nice for a HD remaster which shouldn't have costed more than a million or 2 to make and market. With Europe+JPN sales that's probably >~25M revenue.

Actually none of those games are crossbuy

OT: Crazy to think that GTA5 sold in upwards of 500,000 copies digitally in jan.

Funny how the digital market is actually bigger on PlayStation. With all the hype XBL gets one would think that couldn't possibly be the case.
