It’s NPD sales day today at Kotaku Tower, which means not only console sales data, but PC data as well. Like the top 20-selling retail PC games for the month of April.
Note these are only retail games. So the list doesn’t include titles downloaded over services like Steam and Direct2Drive. But hey, while it’s not perfect reading, it’s still interesting reading.
Or, it would be if games like Empire: Total War were at the top. But they’re not. With Empire and Dawn of War II dropping down the charts, it’s left to Warcraft and The Sims to cosy back up to the top spots. Boring. And, uh, what’s going on at #20? Anyone? Ideas?
1. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
2. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe
3. World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest
4. Company Of Heroes: Tales Of Valour
5. Empire: Total War
6. World Of Warcraft
7. Left 4 Dead
8. DemiGod
9. Diablo Battle Chest
10. The Sims 2 Apartment Life
11. Spore
12. Warcraft III Battle Chest
13. Starcraft: Battle Chest
14. World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade
15. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War II
16. Sim City Box
17. Bejeweled Twist
18. Fallout 3
19. The Sims 2 Pets
20. Hidden & Dangerous 2
