I think Infamous Blood festival was the last game to hold the record


Yup. And I'm pretty sure it has sold incredibly well so far. I haven't even bought Infamous 2 yet, but bought Blood Festival an hour after it was available on psn, since a) it was halloween b) it was Move enabled and c) it was incredibly cheap, especially for ps+ users.

To be honest, I expected to hear news about Journey breaking records for some time now. I don't remember the last niche game that had such huge hype.

"No figures were released"

While impressive and the game totally deserves it, the quote usually bugs me (as it does when similar pieces of news hits). This could mean that the previous record holder really didnt have any significant numbers and to release the figures would be kinda contradictory to the victory message they are trying to convey.

But hey, PSN downloads were never really picked up by the PS3 community.



Regardless of the actual numbers, surpassing your console's record is a good thing. It's progress. It's raised a new bar. In order for the PS3 to eventually put up ûber numbers, it must constantly improve on it's current numbers. This is a good sign of that.
