Hey all, doing a little research and I was wondering if anyone might have some helpful links.

What I am looking for is sales of digital content for the Wii, Xbox 360, PSP, DS and PSN. If anyone knows a good site or two for to find out the number of titles, and total dollars that would be helpful.

Additional information about add-on game content, videos etc is also helpful. I know there is a search button here and I've checked some of the major threads but could not find what i was looking for. Gartner and Jupiter give some general information (and a really good history of on-line consoles), but no up-to-date numbers.

Thanks in advance.

They don't normally release those kinds of numbers. The only time you are going to see much of anything from MS/Sony/Nintendo is the 'number of users' that get touted. On occasion you do hear numbers from the publishers of sed games about sales (Capcom has been known to do this, as have The Bohemoth) but its not a very common thing either.

I would think that those numbers would only be included in either a confidential report between platform and publisher or a really expensive marketing report. That's extremely valuable information indeed.

It's all internal and only viewable by the publishers. They don't release that info, much like Apple.

Frustrating, I know. Sony doesn't even let you view it online, they email reports out.

There's a weekly report about XBLA downloads on Major Nelson's site. It has the top selling XBLA and Indie games of that week, along with how many people were playing regular 360 titles. It doesn't have concrete numbers but it may help a bit.

Thankas Famidrive, and ya I know this type of data is tough to get. I am pretty impressed on the data this community produces so I figured someone might have some insight.
