"MotorStorm: RC publisher Sony has posted an impressive list of stats for the PlayStation 3 and Vita racer.

Did you know that there are 19 downloads of MotorStorm: RC every minute? Apparently so. Presumably that counts both PS3 and Vita versions which you get with a single purchase of either. Does it also count downloads of the free trial?

Somewhere in the world, someone starts a MotorStorm: RC event every second.

Every 60 seconds sees two new PSN friendships formed, two in-game challenges sent and eight MotorStorm: RC PlayStation Trophies earned."

I wonder how long those sales held up, it's the equivalent of 27,360 units per day or 191 520 per week. 

By "sold" they must mean individual licenses registered, which includes a lot of free licenses given away in NA. 

While not everyone who buys an NA PSV is going to download the game, with the current limited software options, anyone looking for a quick racing game fix, or even anyone just snapping up anything being distributed for free will probably add the game to their DL queue.

Technically, you don't even need a PSV to get a free license; you can get the game for free through the PS3, not that it will do you any good.

What it appears, is that SCE is experimenting with the free to play model on the PSV given the number of microtransaction updates the game has already received. Keeps the game fresh, price of entry to try the game is no risk (anyone can play for free) so paying microtransactions for additional content that enhance or extend the experience is not a big issue and as long as the updates continue, presumably they'll retain a significant portion of the regular players. 

It's the same business model that has worked for quite a few iOS game developers.

A Plastation Suite session will held in Japan on 19th April.

So what exactly is this Playstation Suite I keep seeing people mention, anyone mind sharing what it is?

Here is the summary I got off of wiki

"

PlayStation Suite is an upcoming software framework that will be used to provide downloadable PlayStation content for devices that meet the forthcoming PlayStation Certified requirements. Currently, this includes devices that both run Android 2.3 and meet specific unannounced hardware requirements, and Sony's PlayStation Vita. The framework will be cross-platform and cross-device, which Sony refers to as "hardware-neutral". (It is based on the Mono platform.)^[1] It is currently set to be released around April of 2012. It is expected to be released along side the upcoming Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the 2011 Xperia portfolio^[1][2]"

what I think it basically is a gaming marketplace,,,for Android (with other non android devices included but mainly aimed at that market segment) the SDK for this is priced at $99 so entry is rather cheap and if pulled off properly this could be a very very good thing for sony. If anyone else can give a better more detailed explanation please do so

Ah I see, thanks! So does this mean the vita will have a bunch of $0.99 games or something?

Yep once this kicks off all the games that will go through the sp suit market place will be playable on the vita. So it should permanantly shut up those who say the system needs quick fix games for good...meh who am I kidding..they won't shut up lol
