If you haven’t picked up Super Stardust HD yet, it’s a one hell of a good shooter. It flew under the radar and is one of the better PSN games out there. Sony announced that Super Stardust HD will be the first game to receive Trophy support, literally within hours of the firmware v2.4 release. With gamers clamoring to be the first to get their Trophies, will sales of the game spike this week?

I have a feeling this is the case. We don’t know the full sales total, but I’d expect Super Stardust HD to rocket up to the top of the charts on the PSN (as of mid-February, it was #7 on the PSN Top Sellers List). Just like with Achievement Whores on the Xbox 360, I fully expect Trophy Whores to be in full effect in the early morning hours of July 2nd once the firmware hits. Have to get started with building your Level, and why not spend $10 on a good game to get it going?

The real question is, did Sony plan this as a marketing move for the game? Being a critical success but not in the top sellers currently, why not make a big push with Super Stardust HD to garner attention? If this is the case, I think it was pretty smart move on Sony’s part. If not, they stepped into something good. Either way, I have a feeling we’ll be hearing about some high sales data at the end of the week or next week.
