The holidays are almost here, and while it’s the best time to start gaming with friends and family, the staff at Sony Interactive Company are having quite the nightmare with all the leaks. After Insomniac Games was hit badly with leaks that went deep enough to reveal future projects, the leaks from Sony’s camp seem to go even deeper, with leaked data revealing sales figures for PlayStation titles from years back to the latest titles.
Leaked data includes sales performance of PlayStation titles not just on the console but also from the PC port, taken from Steam sales figures. Some titles have shown surprising figures, but for the most part, the numbers are generally what one would expect.
