PS Store and Sony is not releasing sales figures

But those increased console sales "were more than offset by the inclusion of results for Playdom in the current quarter, which reflected the impact of acquisition accounting," the company said.Last month saw Disney's video game-making arm shut down Tron: RS Gold Evolution developer Propaganda Games and undertake  reportedly significant layoffs as the company restructures its game business around more casual and social titles.Income for Disney as a whole was up 40 percent for the quarter, to $2.2 billion, demonstrating particularly strong growth for the company's media networks and studio entertainment businesses..Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep was the only new PlayStation Portable title released in 2010 to break 300,000 units at U.S. retail last year, with all other PSP games falling well below 200,000, according to NPD stats reported by Gamasutra analyst Matt Matthews.Retail sales of PSP software have declined continuously over the past couple of years, and while the handheld segment is down in general, the PSP in particular has suffered.Sony's PSP strategy has split sales between retail stores and its own online PlayStation Store. Digital sales are not included in the retail sales chart below, though Birth by Sleep and Toy Story 3 from that list are not available from the PS Store.For the other eight games, Runescape Gold there is no reliable third-party means for verifying sales made through the PS Store and Sony is not releasing sales figures.
