December was a huge month on PlayStation Store, with older titles resurfacing thanks to year-end sales, alongside a handful of big new releases. One such game absolutely dominated: Minecraft. Mojang’s world-building phenomenon was way out ahead in first place on the PS3 chart after its first 13 days on sale. Other big new entries included Gran Turismo 6 on PS3, Terraria on PS Vita and flOw on PS4.
A few FYIs. Firstly, the PS4 chart does not include PS3 upgrades. If it did, Call of Duty: Ghosts would have come out on top, bumping Battlefield 4 down to second. Secondly, from now on we won’t be splitting PS3 titles into ‘PSN‘ and ‘HDD‘ sub-categories, but to compensate I’ll now be listing a top 20.

Head on over to the US PlayStation Blog to find out what was selling across the pond.
Might just get Minecraft. Dont see whats all the fuss, but there must be something there if its shifting so many copies across so many formats.
By the way…Fifa 14 on PS4 is SO much better than on PS3. Well done EA for making such a poor game that was released at the end of one console generation look so much better on the next.
Why is Tearaway absent from the Vita chart, it doesn’t show up on the Vita’s own PSN top sellers list? Is your database screwed?
It was a really tight month with all the festive discounts! Remember it was in last month’s chart at #1. It was 13th in December.
