World of Warcraft is hottest PC game of 2006 |
Ó
Just how much is a billion dollars? If you had a billion one dollar bills and counted each one, at the rate of a dollar per second, it would take you 30 years to complete the task! That's the kind of counting PC game makers face for selling, well, almost a billion dollars worth of games in 2006. According to the NPD Group, the exact figure is US$ 970 million - which may not be a billion but it's pretty darn close.
Leading the pack of the hottest PC game last year is Blizzard's World of Warcraft which sold 969,000 units. In second place is The Sims 2 from EA which moved 598,000 units. However, the The Sims franchise dominated the list with five titles in the top 10.
Since we're in the realm of the big numbers, we might as well give you NPD's total PC video game hardware, software and accessories sales digits in 2006: US $13.5 billion.
And here's the rest of the top ten best-selling games of 2006 according to NPD:
- World of Warcraft (VU Games)
- The Sims 2 (EA)
- The Sims 2: Open for Business (EA)
- Star Wars: Empire at War (LucasArts)
- The Sims 2: Pets (EA)
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Take 2)
- Age of Empires III (Microsoft)
- The Sims 2 Family Fun (EA)
- Civilisation IV (Take 2)
- The Sims 2 Nightlife (EA)
