I expected Bad Company 2 to be number 1.

I mean, it released in March and its always been on the top sellers list since then.

[QUOTE="couly"]These figures are pathetic (and sad) really, compared to retail console sales. Look at Black Ops is that even near 1% of total sales?tonnybanza1111

I would take these numbers with a huge lorry load of salt. It seems the organisation behind these numbers (a company called FADE) are an off shoot of VGchartz and we all know how accurate VGchartz can be :roll: . As far as I am aware Valve never gives out sales or revenue data and as a private company they are not obliged too. So you have to wonder where FADE are getting their numbers, if I was to speculate they are just guessing and using fancy maths to make it seem like they are in the "know",

yep pc gaming is definately dead
