What was XBLA's biggest seller this year?

This year's biggest sellers on Xbox Live Arcade have been estimated, in a report by Forecasting & Analyzing Digital Entertainment.

According to FADE, the leading game nudging its way in front on revenue gained is... Toy Soldiers. Yes, you read that correctly.

Image just makes me want to play Duck Tales on the NES.

[Eric Barrier]

Same here. C'mon Disney, you are a major Video Game Publisher now. Step your game up and put Duck Tales on on XBLA/PSN.

$$$

Good to see Perfect Dark did good 2.4 million not bad it would probably be number 1 but since it's priced at 800 MS points compare to the top 4 which all are 1200 MS points not too bad so that gives them an advantage.

One also also has to take into account Battlefield was only 4 maps so it got boring, Call of Duty came with the collector's editions of MW2 so it was not necessary to pay for it, and there is still some big game yt to come for the XBLA this year include Castlevania. I am a little shocked that Megaman was not on this list. That almost makes me distrust the results.

[Pumbli]

Why does the fact that Battlefield only has 4 maps have to be taken into account?

Does it affect the sales?

Not everybody bought the collectors edition of MW2, plus they're just posting what the game has sold online. I do not think the MW2 Classic CoD comes into play here.

[Double Toasted]

I'm impressed with what Toy Soldiers did. I couldn't work up the gumption to buy it, seeing as though I only thought the demo was decent.

[Baltis]

A level of success not found on the PSN for some reason. Sad, really.

[Pumbli]

You're like a constant downer, huh?

Or (more likely) a troll.

[Cueil]

but he speaks the truth... PSN will grow to this level eventually if Sony nurtures it

[Millionaire]

Considering there have been tons of disc based exclusive games on the PS3, PS3 gamers don't have to depend on small budget games you know..Just saying

[maniacmayhem]

Its too bad the exclusives dont really add up to the number of great games that have been on xbl....just saying.

[coolbeans]

Gamers wanting to enjoy smaller-budget games (PSN/Arcade) means they're "relying" on them? Were you thinking your statement through or was this just a slant against 360 gamers?

[Silly gameAr]

You know this how? You guys are just looking sad and desperate now.

[Why o why]

[dirthurts]

A Battletoads reboot.
I would buy that twice.

[ChronoJoe]

Top 10 selling PSN games right now.

1. Age of Zombies
2. Mortal Kombat 2
3. Infamous
4. Joe Danger
5. Fat Princess
6. Marvel Vs Capcom 2
7. Rampage**
8. The Price is right
9. Section 8
10. Battlefield 1942

So It's pretty good on both sides right now, I'd say. With exclusive titles like Joe Danger and Fat Princess raising the bar for Sony's exclusive PSN games, and exclusive titles such as Castle Crashers and Shadow Complex doing so for Microsoft. Both sides have more great games than 90% of people will ever buy.

Why the list of PSN games in an Xbox article?

[goxbox360]

Puts it into context perhaps?

It's redundant having an 'awesome' lineup, relative to nothing else. I prefer the XBLA store, has a little more to offer like Metal Slug 3, and Castle Crashers (although I hear CC is coming to PSN soon). Not to mention Geometry Wars 2... favourite game.

[kasasensei]

Pretty big numbers for the xbla. I wouldnt imagine these sales for some of these games, to be honest.

[Cueil]

it's a pain to track this data to... VGChartz tried to do it for a while but it was an massive amount of data on top of trying to do the regular numbers
