Weekly PC Sales: Can Nothing Stop The Sims?

16
For the third week straight, NPD's list of the best-selling PC games at United States retailers features the exact same titles, just in a slightly different order than before.

During the week of December 21-27, 2008, The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Apartment Life Expansion jumped up two spots, with The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff and World of Warcraft Battle Chest gaining a position too. Conversely, Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead, Spore and Bejeweled Twist all came in a number or two lower than they did last week.

With The Sims 3 due in February, it's a safe bet that the series won't go away soon.

  1. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King / Blizzard / $39 (Average)
  2. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe / EA Maxis / $18 (Average)
  3. Spore / EA Maxis / $47 (Average)
  4. Left 4 Dead / Valve / $47 (Average)
  5. The Sims 2 Apartment Life Exp. Pack / EA Maxis / $20 (Average)
  6. Fallout 3 / Bethesda / $47 (Average)
  7. Call Of Duty: World At War / Treyarch / $50 (Average)
  8. World Of Warcraft Battle Chest / Blizzard / $32 (Average)
  9. The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff Exp. / EA Maxis / $18 (Average)
  10. Bejewled Twist / PopCap / $20 (Average)

    The Sims is just like The Grimace. You can't kill it.
