Doublesix has told GamesIndustry.biz that sales of its PSN title Burn Zombie Burn have jumped 40 per cent following the release of the 3.00 firmware upgrade for the PlayStation 3.
The update adds the What's New panel to the system, highlighting the latest additions to the PlayStation Store without users having to go online, and offering direct links to content.
"We're ecstatic at the 3.00 upgrade because not only have our sales gone up 40 per cent since the update but for me personally it's what I've been calling for and looking forward to for a long time," said James Brooksby, studio head at Doublesix.
Handheld Loer writes, "This list just shows the games [we] feel every Shield owner should at least try. Also almost every game on this list allows Nvidia Shield and Tegra 4 owners to crank up the graphics settings to high on most of these games listed same as with settings on a PC only much easier."

I am so in touch with everything that is releasing advertising doesn't matter to me. I am surprised how much advertisements can help with sales for games that have been out a while. I guess these people do not browse the store weekly.
GO SONY GO
When FW 3.0 came out I immediately saw that this whole update is about better marketing. I hate it.
I'm happy for their increased sales figures, but for me, the end user, it's just insulting. Instead of delivering innovative and advanced features we are asking for, we get more ads and a ticker with ads that can't be removed. Damn you Sony, you sometimes make me question why I chose you over the Xbox 360.
Would you rather pay for a service which still has ads then?
As far as I know, the Xbox has nothing similar to the PS3 in terms of ads.
Paying a few dollars a year for their robust network experience is starting to look not so bad. But i'm still a loyal PS3 user, just hate Sony's BS.
