» NPD Group Releases Corrected 2007 10 PC Game Sales List

Earlier this week we posted up a list of the top 10 best selling PC games of 2007 as issued by the NPD Group. Now Game Daily reports that list was inaccurate and that the NPD Group has released an all new list of games; there's no reason offered on why the NPD Group made a mistake in their original list. Here is the now correct list of the top 10 best selling PC games in the US in 2007:
  • 1. World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade – Blizzard – 2.25 million
  • 2. World of Warcraft- Blizzard – 914,000
  • 3. The Sims 2 – Electronic Arts – 534,000
  • 4. The Sims 2 Seasons Expansion Pack – Electronic Arts – 433,000
  • 5. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – Activision – 383,000
  • 6. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars – Electronic Arts – 350,000
  • 7. Age of Empires III – Microsoft – 313,000
  • 8. Sim City 4 - Electronic Arts – 294,000
  • 9. MS Flight Simulator X - Microsoft - 280,000
  • 10. The Sims 2 Bon Voyage Expansion Pack – Electronic Arts – 272,000

    Not really, because some games come out early in the year, and some later, so the numbers by themselves mean nothing without the release dates attached.

    the numbers do mean something. It doesn't matter when the game came out. They are only releasing total sale numbers for the year. So whether it came out 4 years ago or 6 months ago we still know how many sold in 2007.

    So it doesn't matter that CoD4 had one month in 2007 to sell more copies than C&C3, which had all year?

    That's because it was released in 2003. WTF, how is this on the top selling list?
