2009 awards: Most Downloaded

Probably not the most prestiguous award to receive as a developer, this is the list of games people most downloaded in 2009. Yep, these are the games that took money from developers’ pockets, not helping with the economic situation and causing havoc in offices worldwide.

On top of all of this madness, people found ways to pirate games for the Wii and 360. Sony executives are likely to be looking more smug then ever upon reading this list.

PC games chart:

1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
2 The Sims 3
3 Prototype
4 Need For Speed Shift
5 Street Fighter IV

Wii chart:

1 New Super Mario Bros.
2 Punch-Out!!
3 Wii Sports Resort
4 The House of the Dead: Overkill
5 Mario Power Tennis

360 Chart:
1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
2 Street Fighter IV
3 Prototype
4 Dirt 2
5 UFC 2009 Undisputed

Probably not all that surprisingly, the PC clocked in far more downloads then the console platforms, with MW2 alone getting around 4 million downloads compared to the 1 million on the 360. That 4 million downloads figure doubles 2008′s most download title, which was Spore.
