shio on 03 February 2010

Mass Effect 2 just proved in it's first week that it may very well sell more on PC than on Xbox 360. As seen below, ME2 managed to occupy 6 places in the weekly top ten sellers from Steam, D2D and Impulse.

Not only that, but ME2 also affected it's prequel - Mass Effect 1 managed show up in both Steam and D2D's Top Ten. As a whole, the Mass Effect franchise had 8 top spots in the 3 charts below:

      Steam (By Revenue) - January 24 though January 30, 2010
         1. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 LE (Pre-Order) - EA DICE
         2. Mass Effect 2 - BioWare
         3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Infinity Ward
         4. Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition - BioWare
         5. Global Agenda (Pre-Order) - Hi-Rez
         6. BioShock 2 (Pre-Order) - 2K Marin / Digital Extremes
         7. Mass Effect - BioWare / Demiurge

         5. Sins of a Solar Empire - Ironclad
         6. Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition - BioWare
         7. Light of Altair - SaintXi
         8. Mass Effect 2 - BioWare
         9. Sword of the Stars Ultimate - Kerberos
        10. Star Trek Online (Pre-Order) - Cryptic

 

 

While it's no great surprise to see anticipated sci-fi games like Mass Effect 2 and Star Trek Online in the listings, pre-orders for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 still managed to top the Steam chart--no doubt bolstered by the pre-order multiplayer beta underway.

Also of note is the impact of discounts. Following a sale where Psychonauts was $2 on Steam, it ranked a respective 8--all the more impressive considering that Steam's list is based on revenue, not volume. Other discounted titles include Company of Heroes (Steam), Red Faction: Guerrilla (D2D) and Gratuitous Space Battles (Impulse).

Lastly, let's not forget that Steam is the only digital distribution outlet that's selling Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 PC, as the game requires a Steam install to play.

Good for Mass Effect 2 on PC. No controller support for the win!



DirtyP2002 on 03 February 2010

no, but shio will make them up pretty fast.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Twistedpixel on 03 February 2010

So like the Gamestop, Amazon and Walmart top 10 games are like just as relevant for determining overall market penetration, right?



Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

What does the Digital Deluxe Edition get for extras?



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.
