That credit card expired.

Many of those games are currently on sale at the respective retailer, which would explain why some of them are on the list. Not a very accurate list.

New forums... Soon™

I removed any discounted items for better measure. Not perfect, to be sure, but insightful just the same.

it seems Sims is popular among Walmart shoppers... Anyway, I'm pretty sure the numbers would be different if all games were available in all 3 providers.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 are download deals of the week on Amazon.

You're right. The lists are still insightful. Never really cared about the Walmart list though. Their best-selling lists are usually filled with odd games. I don't think most gamers buy from there either.

Well Walmart's Diablo 3 could be pretty much accurate.

Through all the differences it is still perfection.

Rayman is out for PC? What is this? How did I not know?

Thanks for the list.

Anything worth having is worth working hard for.

Rayman origins? It is a really good game, but it is very surprising that it is first... Regardless, it is very good to know that I'm not the only one excited for Diablo 3

Rayman Origins being first on Steam was also a complete surprise to me. Walmart shoppers sure like Sims 3, lol.

Yeah @ Diablo III

What defines you is how you react to disappointments.

Rayman is probably first, because it just came out like the day this article was made.

Jeez, good thing that Best Buy is downsizing. Less idiots purchasing Sims 3 content they already own from Sims 2 will hurt EA.

Looks like Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead 2 are still extremely popular.
