December was a big month for the PlayStation Network, and not just because it was unavailable during the biggest day of the year. Indeed, the PlayStation Store must make an absolute killing around Christmas, and it looks like 2014 was no different, as some of the biggest games on Sony platforms topped the download charts once again.
In both Europe and North America, Grand Theft Auto V took first place on the PS4, showing that many users clearly couldn't care less about its rather large file size. Following up Rockstar's latest were the likes of FIFA 15, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, while the ageing PS3 had to make do with Minecraft taking the top spot in both regions. No surprises here, then.
Not content with hanging around the PS4's best sellers and dominating the PS3, Mojang's block-'em-up also jumped above the competition on the Vita as well, with Freedom Wars, Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair being among the titles that populated the rest of the list. Meanwhile, good old Crash Bandicoot was the best selling PSone Classic in Europe, while the recently released and beloved Suikoden II claimed that same spot in North America, with the original Suikoden following behind in second place. Not bad, eh?
You can take a look at the full charts through here and here. Did you grab anything digital last month? Show us your remaining hard drive space in the comments section below.

Minecraft is just the river that never stops flowing.
I only bought unfinished swan and nidhogg from PSN, the sales weren't that great for ps4, much better for vita. I'll be buying or renting akiba and danganronpa at some point so didn't dip in.
Danganronpa 2 is just awesome
I haven't bought games digitally in ages...as for my PS3's HDD space, last I checked I only had 30GB left, out of 160GB.
That will quickly reduce to 20GB once I move over some shows and movies from my External though.
My 500 GB PS3 is down to like 16 GB's and that is after deleting things. I know I'm in the minority but I love digital. I haven't bought a game retail since GTA V.
@Savino 3x....,.pc.....xbox 360.....PS4, lmao just love this game!!
On the PS4, the difference between digital and disc is irreverent. My PS4 drive is already full and 90% is from disc games. There required downloads are just as big as the digital, so it matters not.
Already own Minecraft on 3 formats. PD4, Vita and iOS. Love the game. 10/10 all day. Not surprised it took the gong.
@Midzark @Savino - You forgot about the $6.99 tablet version.
My son got Skylanders Trap Team and Disney INfinity 2 Marvel for Christmas, but all he keeps talking about is getting Minecraft for his birthday tomorrow. My wife and I refuse to buy it for him, he already has the PS3 version and spends a lot of time DLing and playing the mods on the PC as it is, but all his friends are online. We're letting my father-in-law buy it for him b/c he couldn't find the new dark element Trap Team Mansion. Oh well.
