Weekly PC Sales: Dawn of War 2 Stays on Top

17
NPD's list of the ten best-selling PC games at United States retailers didn't change all that much during the week of February 22-28. Like the last week, Dawn of War II is still on top, Lich King is still in second, and The Sims take up the two spots below that.

Apart from some reshuffled positions later down the list, the only noteworthy changes are the disappearances of F.E.A.R. 2 and Crysis Warhead. They were replaced by the incredibly cheap Sims Carnival: SnapCity and the first World of Warcraft expansion.

  1. Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II / Relic / $48
  2. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King / Blizzard / $38
  3. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe / EA Maxis / $20
  4. The Sims 2 Deluxe / EA Maxis / $2
  5. World Of Warcraft / Blizzard / $16
  6. World Of Warcraft Battle Chest / Blizzard / $35
  7. Spore / EA Maxis / $44
  8. The Sims Carnival: SnapCity / Electronic Arts / $2
  9. The Sims 2 Apartment Life Exp. Pack / EA Maxis / $19
  10. World Of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade / Blizzard / $25

      The NPD needs to get its crap together w/digital distribution before the "top 10 lists" stop looking like that. Probably wouldn't change DoW 2's position because Valve indicates that the split between Steam and retail is typically 50/50 for major Steam games but it would probably yank a few more hardcore games up/back up.

      Going to be mildy interesting next week though when Empire: Total War enters into the equation.

      Yeah, cos the console NPD's are a real bastion of quality. It's all Wii Fit, Wii Play and Mario Kart Wii every f'n month.
