Sony has said today that their PSP, PS3 Minis have reached one million downloads.
The Minis are low-priced games available via the PlayStation Network on either the home console or the handheld.
It is unclear whether the number includes free demos, but if it does, the number is even more insignificant than it already is.
Only 1.7 percent of all PSP owners have downloaded a Minis game, compared to 51 percent of iPhone owners and 54 percent of BlackBerry owners.
Minis were released 9 months ago, and there are over 60 million PSP owners, in all variations.
Of the 86 games available, PocketGamer says the following 10 are the best-selling:
Age of Zombies (Halfbrick)
Monopoly (EA)
Fieldrunners(Subatomic)
Zombie Tycoon (Frima)
Bloons(Hands-on)

THQ, the popular publisher, has said today that it will become the latest company to force used game buyers to pay a fee to play their purchased games online.
The first title to use the practice will be UFC Undisputed 2010, which has one-time use codes for online play, and therefore will require second hand users to buy a new code.
Used game buyers will have to pay $5 for a new code and access to “Fight Camp” mode, which lets 40 players train together online.
Says the company: “This multiplayer content for UFC Undisputed 2010 will be available via a one-time code included with the game at purchase. Codes for accessing the content will be available for second-time buyers for an additional $5.”
THQ’s move follows that of EA Sports which recently announced that used game buyers will be charged $10 for an “Online Pass” that allows access to multiplayer functions. Ubisoft says they are actively considering a similar structure.
