December's Top PSN Titles

Final Fantasies Rule The Charts Yet Again.

by 00.19

Here's something you may not know: Resident Evil 2 is a far superior game to Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. You may think that's just my opinion, but Jesus himself told me that the good Lord himself prefers the adventures of Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Ada Wong to those of Jill Valentine. What does this have to do with PSN game sales for December? For some reason, Nemesis outsold RE2 during that month. That's just heartbreaking.

To be fair, both games were destroyed by Final Fantasy VIII, PixelJunk Shooter, and Final Fantasy VII. And I guess I can't be too upset that both Resident Evil games finish inside the top five. Only one bit of additional game content,
"The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned" for Borderlands, makes it onto the list, which is surprising for some reason. Somehow Marvel vs. Capcom 2 still manages to sneak inside the top ten, but just barely. I figured the sales of that game would die out almost immediately after its release, but I guess I was wrong. In all honesty, the only questionable content on this entire list is Frogger Returns. Really people? Really? Frogger? You disappoint me, but I'm willing to make you a deal in order to make up for your poor spending habits. All you have to do is buy a copy of Yakuza 3 when it comes out. Then we'll be even Stevens.

Here's the list, in order:

1. FINAL FANTASY VIII (PS3/PSP)
2. PixelJunk Shooter
3. FINAL FANTASY VII (PS3/PSP)
4. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PS3/PSP)
5. Resident Evil 2 (PS3/PSP)
6. Frogger Returns
7. Call of Duty Classic
8. Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
9. MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2
10. Battlefield 1943

    Happy to see so many PS1 classics on there, especially FFVII/FFVIII.

    Man Nemesis refined the Mercenaries mode (previously known as "Time Attack" in my Sega Saturn version of RE1) whose core game play has influenced the rest of the series, not to mention begot the DMC series so like . . . fuck you or something.

    Also, RE3 is the better game once you imagine Nemesis yelling "OH YEAH!!!" whenever he runs through a wall at you.
