Blizzard Once Again Reins Supreme on U.S. PC Charts

It should come as no surprise that WoW would be number one in sales on the PC charts, but for one company to have five titles in the Top 10? That is a testament to the popularity of the games it creates. Blizzard is no stranger to being the dominant company in the NPD charts though, and as you can see below, the week of August 17-23 was no exception:
- 1. World of Warcraft: Battle Chest
- 2. The Sims 2: Double Deluxe
- 3. World of Warcraft
- 4. Spore Creature Creator
- 5. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
- 6. The Diablo Battle Chest
- 7. Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice
- 8. Call of Duty 4
- 9. The Orange Box
- 10. The Warcraft III Battle Chest
It is also no surprise that the Spore Creature Creator is up there, nor CoD4 or even The Sims 2 for that matter. I have even stopped batting an eye at the Nancy Drew game because despite what we choose to believe, even little girls like PC games too. However, what is shocking to me is that The Orange Box is still in the Top 10 after all this time- maybe this is because of all the Team Fortress updates and the like, because I would think that Portal and Half-Life 2 would be old hat by now.
Well ofcourse
hehe But glad to see Blizzard doing but man who knows maybe EA might come up top with their new game releasing next month Dead Space 
Holy christ, aside from Call of Duty 4 and Orange Box that list reads like a who’s who of retarded games.
…people still buy Warcraft III?
Furthermore, the fact that Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice is beating the Orange Box is a very, very sad thing.
I do believe blizzard is not a company. Activision-blizzard is though.
Activision makes call of duty no? That’d be one company having 6 games actually.
