August 2012 PSN Top Sellers: CounterStrike: Global Offensive Storms the Charts

PSN PLAY 2012 provided a ton of great new PSN games; from Sound Shapes, to Papo & Yo; but when it came to sales, Counter Strike: Global Offensive emerged as the victor. Valve’s hit franchise debuted with a powerful shot of multiplayer-centric action, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, download it today and get on the battlefield.

Representing more of the PSN PLAY 2012 lineup, Sound Shapes debuts on this month’s top sellers list, coming in at No. 4 on PS3 and No. 1 on PS Vita! Congratulations to Queasy Games and Santa Monica Studios on another hit.

PS2 Classics had a great month as well with the addition of War of the Monsters, Shinobi, and Psychonauts. We’re proud of the PS2 Classic War of the Monsters taking the top spot this month as Starhawk developer Dylan Jobe worked on the game (check out his retrospective post from his time developing the game).

Also, we’re welcoming PS minis to the lineup this month, so thanks to the readers who suggested we add these. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and we’ll see you next month with September’s numbers. Any guesses who will have the top spot?
