What about all the people still buying The Sims 2? The games is years old, who's still buying the game that didn't get a copy yet?

More to the point: The people who think like us and play games like us tend to buy games immediately. That's why most games don't stay on this list more than a month. Anything that lasts longer than three months tends to have an extensive word-of-mouth campaign running.
In short, these are the people who don't self-identify as gamers. They outnumber us, and I applaud studios that can successfully include them in our circle instead of treating them as out of bounds and unobtainable.-
For the most part, the games on this list are the ones you can find in Walmart, Target, OfficeMax, etc.
These stores look at sales data more than anything and will stock their shelves with other titles from the same publisher because they have been successful in the past. I know Spore is there sitting next to a dozen other Sim titles that everyone has already. Makes it very attractive to buy.
