The Sims back on top

Unsurprisingly, the latest expansion pack for The Sims moved straight into the top slot in the NPD retail charts. As a matter of fact, in this week's chart, The Sims products took five of the top eight positions, and Electronic Arts increased its share of the top 10 from seven to eight. Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and Madden NFL 2003 are continuing to perform well, and right now only Vivendi's Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto III stand between Electronic Arts and complete PC best-seller list domination.
