The PlayStation Blog today released its monthly rankings for PSN sales. The month of March was jam-packed with new material, from PlayStation Minis and Network titles to full-blown retail releases available for digital download (including the now-controversial Mass Effect 3 and Tecmo Koei beat’ em up Warriors Orochi 3). Topping the PS3’s download list, though, was Journey, the PSN title that has been picking up tremendous critical acclaim, including a near-perfect score from our own Matt Walker .



It’s always a pleasure to see a critical success, particularly when the title in question is non-traditional and not part of an established series, sell well. That, however, isn’t the only interesting thing in this month’s report. Sonic CD is still in the top 20, making it one of the more enduring titles and perhaps betraying a wave of nostalgia in the PlayStation gamers’ consciousness (this is bolstered by The Simpsons Arcade Game sitting at number ten). Remaining on the old-school side of things, the top five PSone Classics were all Squaresoft titles (from before the merger with Enix); Final Fantasies VII, IX, VI and VIII in that order, followed by Chrono Trigger (one of my personal favorite games of all time, and a role-playing tour de force). The PSone, after all, was known for nothing if not its tremendous stable of RPGs.
