Electronic Arts, Vivendi dominate US PC charts
Electronic Arts and Vivendi are dominating sales of PC games in the US, according to the latest data from NPD.
EA's budget title Spore Creature Creator is the top seller for the week ended June 28, with two other EA titles – The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff Expansion and The Sims 2 Double Deluxe – at two and three in the charts.
Vivendi's World of Warcraft Battle Chest is at four, with the original World of Warcraft at six. Sandwiched between the two is Eidos' plucky upstart MMO Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.
There are two more Sims expansion packs at seven and eight – The Sims 2 Free Time Expansion Pack and The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff.
Activision's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is at nine, with Vivendi's Diablo Battle Chest at ten.
