Sony to publish monthly PSN chart

Mortal Kombat Arcade tops debut list.

Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection tops the inaugural monthly PlayStation Network download chart, Sony has announced.

The platform holder today revealed its plans to publish a monthly PSN top 20 via the PlayStation Blog.

Seeing as neither Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection nor Castlevania: Harmony of Despair have been released in Europe yet, it seems the chart accounts for US sales only.

Still, habitually stat-hungry as we are, Eurogamer finds itself powerless to resist a good list, so here's the September run-down in full.

  1. Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection
  2. Resident Evil 4
  3. From Dust
  4. Angry Birds
  5. Resident Evil 2
  6. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
  7. Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
  8. Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition
  9. Limbo
  10. Final Fantasy VII
  11. Resident Evil Director's Cut
  12. Parasite Eve II
  13. Burnout Crash!
  14. Elemental Monster Online Card Game
  15. Breath of Fire IV
  16. Saints Row 2
  17. Renegade Ops
  18. Call of Duty Classic
  19. Castle Crashers
  20. Battlefield 1943

The list doesn't account for PlayStation Plus members who downloaded the games free of charge.
