Sony Reveal Best-Selling PSN Games Of 2011

Still in the first month of the new year means that looking back on the year before is still a common occurrence. So then, Sony has provided a list of the best-selling games from the PlayStation Network, along with the best-selling downloadable content. Both lists are ranked by units sold. The list is as follows:

  2. Resident Evil 4
  3. Infamous Festival of Blood
  4. Back to the Future: The Game – Full Series

Some surprising results there – and some not so surprising. Firstly, it’s best to remember that these are the sales for the US Store only. The continued success of age-old classic Tetris is impressive seeing it become the best-selling game of 2011, while the performance by Infamous Festival of Blood was powerful enough to see it become the third, but it was Resident Evil 4 that was the best-selling new release as it became the second top-selling game of 2011.

As for the bits of downloadable content, Call of Duty dominates with map packs making up four of the top six.
