Only One Sony PS3 Title Has Sold A Million Copies Stateside

Resistance: Fall of Man is currently the only Sony published PS3 title to have topped one million sales in the US, according to NPD data.

GameSetWatch reports that just six Sony published PS3 titles have surpassed 500,000 unit sales. LittleBigPlanet is the second highest selling, with sales between 750k and one million copies, while Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue have each shifted 500k-750k.

MotorStorm, Ratchet & Clank: Tools Of Destruction and Heavenly Sword have sold between 250k and 500k, while MotorStorm: Pacific Rift and Hot Shots Golf: Out Of Bound are yet to move 250k units.

The sales figures were correct as of April 2009, and don’t include games sold as part of console bundles.

Does this mean Wii Sports is sub 1Million in the US?

I guess so. I mean it had nothing to do with Wiis being sold, so it doesn't count for anything.

I thought you guys already knew that NPD doesn't count sales of bundled games. So of course Wii Sports would be completely absent from a list of Nintendo published titles going with the methodology used in this article.

We do. >_>

Why should a Bundle count as a Software sale?

Killzone 2 is getting close. It's just past 800k according to our numbers. Resistance 2 is also past 800k, but it'll probably take at least until the end of the year to cross a million, and that's assuming it gets some sort of a bump over the holidays. It's just as likely it'll die off in the low 900s.

LittleBigPlanet should also break a million before the year is out. It's at 912k by our numbers before the Best Buy bundles began.

And of course GT5 will break a million. And Uncharted 2 has a shot if it's marketed right. The addition of multiplayer should help that one along, though in general sequels released during the same generation don't perform as well as their immediate predecessors.

In the end, however, it's not that surprising (though it is somewhat saddening) that the bulk of Sony published titles to break a million in NA are shooters. =/
