It suprises me that dead space 2 is still in the top ten let alone the top 2. I mean it was a great game but its been out for a while.

Yay for skyrim! I'm surprised Deadspace and MW2 did so well... ToR is looking very big also (as shown by Amazon's sales). I'll be getting skyrim as soon as there is a deal for it...

Dead Space surprised me too, but I just figured it was because of the Autumn sale and it was so cheap.

If I could afford I would've been 1 of the ones that bought Skyrim.
I did buy Battlefield 3 (only 29$) and Portal 2 thanks to the Thanksgiving sale.

I'm not creative, so this is what I came up with...

I was thinking about pre-ordering Star Wars: The Old Republic. I played the Beta this weekend and it was VERY fun. I just don't want to pay 15$ a month again.

Ya it surprised me too. But I was actually thinking of picking it up on sale. If it used the Steam Cloud/Sync I would have.

The writer of the article should have waited a week after the Steam Autumn Sale because Steam's top sellers currently represent what recently has been on sale. Regardless though, Skyrim is still #1.

agreed, amazon was also running some sales, and walmart might have had a few sales to also throw the numbers off...

I love how 5 of the top 10 at Walmart are sim-style games with The Sims 3 and 3 of it's expansions along with Zoo Tycoon. Hard to tell where the casual gamers get their gaming fix lol.

Steams numbers are often skewed by all those sales they hold.

It's because one is just a digital download and the other is the game box/pack/whatever it may be.
