We weren’t particularly impressed with the Xperia Play (a.k.a. the PlayStation Phone), but we have to admit that we never expected its games to sell so slowly.
According to Sony Ericsson head of market development Dominic Neil-Dwyer, one of the bestselling PlayStation game on the Xperia Play is Destruction Derby which sold between 500-1,000 downloads. Other games mentioned by Dominic were Syphon Filter which sold 100-500 copies, MediEvil (100-500), Cool Boarders 2 (100-500) and Jumping Flash (50-100).
“I think there's also an awareness thing for people that are getting their hands on the device and where they are choosing to purchase games. There's only a few, at the minute, PlayStation One titles there, and there's more coming on a regular basis, and there's the whole PlayStation as a content provider exclusive to the device, the story about that, that will emerge and people will see,” Neil-Dwyer argued.
