PC Sales 2000

Hmm.. is "The Sims" the new 'Evercrack'??? :)

It must be...everyone and their brother HAS to be playing the fucker, or it wouldn't STILL be #1...

OK, ALL YOU CLOSET "THE SIMS" PLAYERS...COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP AND WE'LL SHOOT YOU AND WE WON'T SHOOT YOU!

the real winners are MMORPGs where people pay a monthly fee (EverQuest, AC, etc). you only need to have around 30,000 - 50,000 people paying every month, and it's an enormous success. that same amount of purchases for any other type of game would be considered a failure.

A whole bunch of stats here: http://www.gameweek.com/npd_trsts/2000_results/index.shtml

you'd think that they would be able to provide better stats then this. I want to search by genre, or maybe see how much money each game made, not the amount sold. Maybe I want to check a companies history and see their entire line of games and how their games sold.

UT beat Q3. It's the only FPS on the top 20. Just goes to show ya, the genre is only a niche.

Number 16: Unreal Tournament

sheesh, the sims sells for quite a bit for such an old game... wait.. how old is it?

Nothing beats The Sims. It keeps Selling... and Selling... and Selling...

nonono no bitch
