since when developers get all the money we pay for a game??? for example: i bought fat princess for 15$ back in the days and i bet the devs get only about 8$ or 9$ from my money so the numbers of sales don't mean a thing. Titan Studios had to pay bandwidth fee to have it on PSN Store SCEA as the publisher have a cut in the money too, and the list goes on... all that affect devs studios revenue. 
Those sales numbers are way off.

Fade didn't ask the developers how much money they made on these games, they obviously track sales and then calculate the overall revenue. Sony's profit inclusive.

in the article it says:
FADE Top 5 Estimates for PSN Lifetime Sales, by Revenue
so "by Revenue" what does he mean? "Estimates for PSN Lifetime Sales" says that they don't track sales at all...

in the OP it clearly says that based in the revenue and dividing it by the full price of the game you get the sales numbers...
that is wrong.
