The best selling game on the PSN is Battlefield 1943 with 444,000 copies

No title has reached the 500,000 mark in unit sales while Xbox LIVE Arcade has seen four titles eclipse one million in unit sales. Battlefield 1943 on Xbox LIVE, for example, has more than doubled the amount of PSN revenue.

1.Battlefield 1943 (EA Dice) - $6.6 million ($14.99) (around 444,000 copies).
2.Fat Princess (Titan Studios) - $5.6 million ($14.99) (373,00 copies).
3.PAIN (Idol Minds) - $4.3 million ($9.99) (430,000 copies).
4.Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Capcom) - $3.9 million ($7.49 - $14.99) (at worst, 260,000 copies).
5.Flower (ThatGameCompany) - $3.4 million ($9.99) (340,000 copies).

Yeah, I thought that was a funny thing to celebrate considering it took them nine months to get there.

OT: Pain must have made way more than that considering the shitloads of DLC they've released for it.

Hmmm.....I wonder what GT5:P has done.

So, if the lowest one on there is 260,000, you're trying to tell me that all GT5:P has done is that or less? GT5:P hasn't hit 500,000 on PSN? I'm inclined to think otherwise.

I also love how the the OP left out the rest of that article:

Despite this, creating games on the platform is a strong investment for developers.  'Although PSN lacks the massive sellers of Xbox Live Arcade, many developers have found great success with PSN. In our initial report, we find that 22% of all titles have recorded over $1 million USD in revenue, a figure that should be encouraging to developers that are interested in the platform.' said Benjamin Schlichter, Director of Research & Analysis at FADE.

is GT5:P an Arcade game??

There's no "Arcade" game on the PSN.

The first line in the title: "The best selling PSN games". GT5:P is a PSN-downloadable title. Why shouldn't it count?

I think you'll have to take that up with FADE or whoever the research company is.

Their focus is on the arcade / games specifically designed for the PSN or XBL.
