All things considered, 2014 was a fantastic year for the PlayStation brand. As the PlayStation 3 exited the console war and the new PlayStation 4 stepped up to take its place, Sony completely dominated sales for the majority of the year. The games were also fantastic, with re-releases like The Last of Us: Remastered and Grand Theft Auto V standing alongside new games like Wolfenstein: The New Order and Destiny.
While some are still unhappy with the PlayStation Store's current design, Sony's digital storefront saw more traffic than ever. As internet speeds go up, so do digital purchases, and Sony's increased focus on its Day 1 Digital program reinforces that. The PlayStation brand saw some great games last year, and the digital sales numbers reflect that.
In fact, Sony has just released the PlayStation Store's sales rankings for last year, and while it's a bit predictable, it shows off just how impressive the publisher's lineup was in 2014.
PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 really hit its stride in 2014: it found an audience and its library saw a huge boost of quality titles, thanks to games like Minecraft, Trials Fusion and Grand Theft Auto V.
Again, Minecraft dominated the list, as did Telltale Games' fantastic titles. It's also the most varied list by far, and even without the triple-A blockbusters making their way to Sony's handheld, the Vita did just fine in 2014.
It's obvious that 2014 belonged to Sony, and if the PlayStation Store continues to do as well as it has been, there's a good chance that 2015 could belong to the publisher, too.
