US PC Charts Apr. 19-25: Lich King tops Sims 2 Double Deluxe

thse reports are bloddy useless!!! WHat the heck do i need to know places for? Rather tell me how many units they actually sold! Lazy gamespot.

@df-1 That would be a good joke. Maybe let's add Diablo, maybe Starcraft 3, unannounced Blizzard game and another WoW expansion. That would be funny

Nice game

They should rename these sales as the Walmart shelf sales...

I wonder where The Sims 3 will be on this chart when it comes out at the start of June.

Spore is 47 bucks!?

NPD really needs to start tracking digital distribution some how. I know many places like Steam dont give out numbers so they are going to have to work it out or something but just showing the same Brick and Mortar PC sales is just showing the same population of (MOSTLY) casual gamers buying games which is why Sims makes it up there so often. I bet if we had dig dist. showing it would be a very VERY different picture.

Steam is where its it. Voice chat, Demos, virtualization of your game library and instant access of any game u buy through it! I just started playing Eve Online, I highly reccomend it, $14.99 through steam for the entire game + all expansions. 21 day trial account going on now. Spreadsheets in space!

How is Left 4 Dead at 4 even w/o counting digital distribution sales? 90% of its sales are from that...Just ask the people on the boards, nearly everybody there bought it on steam. Not to mention, it was 40% off last weekend and I know there was a huge spikes in sales at that time. And what daabulls23 said is true as well. The entire Orange Box (Half Life 2, HL2 ep1, HL2 ep2, Portal, and TF2) was just 10$ recently!

I don't know why people never get tired of playing sims!

The top 5 look basically unchanged

I can't belive Dawn of War 2 is off the list already. Its a great game! Easily better than the Sims on levels!

I am surprised that Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 2 isn't on this list. A very good game many are missing out on this title, which I am still playing and having fun.

Wow the sims still going, nice

glad to see demigod making the list, even though i'm not interested in the game so much as the developers.

The Sims 2 is still selling? Dang!

[quote]One more month until we see Sims 3 at the top of the charts for months and months and months.[/quote] heh, more like years :p. Honestly though, you have to remember that this chart doesn't take into account digial distrubtion, so Steam and other services online don't count.

Now that I think about it, it could equally mean that the general interest in PC games has diminished far beyond my worst fears. MMOs/casuals pretty much dominate this chart, meaning that if consoles could run MMOs I'd be talking to myself right now.

lol...

Time-zone considerations aside, I'm also somewhat pleased to see the relatively few comments about this chart so far. Maybe it means people are starting to care less about what the industrial giants are trying to shove down our throats. Then again, looks like people are still buying spore. WTF!

One more month until we see Sims 3 at the top of the charts for months and months and months.

The Old Republic is an excellent Knight in shining armor but WOW will reign as KING.

People are still buying the sims 2? Isnt sims 3 coming out in a month?

I bet ya The Old Republic will top WoW off for good! Since theirs MILLIONS of Starwars fans out there and I'm one of them and the game looks REALLY GOOD from looking at the dev videos.

A) Can anyone explain to me how Spore is still up on that list? At $47? B) Amazed that Empire: Total War is still contending up there (the Total War series seems to be holding the entire Strategy genre on its shoulders, there) C) Charts like this make me wonder if weekly charts are anything to pay attention to anymore. It also makes me sad.

I bet Orange Box sales went through the roof: It was on Steam for $9.99!!!

how does the sims 2 sell still? i thought it was very unfinished game
