No wonder developers are jumping ship (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/06/remedy-co-founder-joins-rovio-to-bring-angry-birds-to-consoles/) to Rovio: it's flooded with money. Angry Birds (http://www.joystiq.com/game/angry-birds) has managed to perch itself atop not only the iOS and Android marketplaces, but it has claimed the top spot on the PlayStation Store as well. Released as a mini (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/04/angry-birds-bombard-psn-minis-today/), the port works on both PS3 and PSP, which undoubtedly helped its sales. The rest of the top 10 for January include:
Angry Birds
Tetris
X-Men
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
Final Fantasy VII
Wheel of Fortune
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Mass Effect 2
Castle Crashers
Risk Factions
Mass Effect 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/mass-effect-2) is a surprising addition to the top downloads list, considering it is a full $60 game. Perhaps the success of Bioware's RPG will cause more publishers to consider releasing full retail games via the PlayStation Store?
