Aren't those estimates? Besides the lack of Football Manager is weird as it continues to be one of the most played titles on steam..._Pedro_

Yeah, and Bad Company 2 has been a major top seller on Steam since March. I doubt Black Ops managed to pass it that quickly.

I've seen the Football Manager games rank pretty high up on the UK sales charts, and that's for retail only.

Maybe there's just a lot of people buying retail, and adding it to their Steam list?

cod is only on top cause people payed 60$ for them, while the other games were cheaper and on sale at huge discounts

The difference is stagering though. It could very well mean that some of these titles didn't sell anything in retail. But yeah you're right, the retail numbers for FM have always been rather high in the UK and other parts of europe.

Yeah we really need clarification. One could only hope for Valve to come out and tell us these numbers are either accurate or not.

They will never. The fact that all transactions are digital means they have the number pinned down the the exact cent. But they will never reveal it for the purposes of maintaining a competitive edge agaisnt retailers and other DD systems.

Atleast some games like Battlefield BC 2 which deserves to be there are present

Portal stiil doing well.
