Weekly PC Sales: Dawn of War 2 Dominates WoW

33
The latest software sales figures from sales-tracking group NPD are in, showing the top ten PC games at United States retailers during the week of February 15-21, 2009.

That week saw the debut of Dawn of War II, along with the surprise return of Crysis Warhead. Meanwhile, Fallout 3 and Call of Duty: World at War both dropped off, but F.E.A.R. 2 managed to hang on, just not in the #2 slot it hit last week.

By the way, Dawn of War 2 marks the first new game to top Wrath of the Lich King since the juggernaut appeared way back in November. Since then, Lich King and The Sims 2 have battled for supremacy, but no new game has charted above the King until now.
