I love seeing PC games beating out their console breathern.  That makes my day.  

Gets a bit tiring hearing how everything is dooooomed. 

WoW at 10 = amazing (let alone the Xpac at 12)

Agreed. Even if we don't know the sales numbers, its nice to see PC beating the console version of BFBC2 by 5 spots :D And this is retail, since Steam never release their figures. And i'd say 2/3 of all pc sales are via digital services.

That's only in Sweden. How many gamers are there in Sweden? A few hundred? Those numbers are irrelevant in such a small market like that. I think those small countries perfer PC games because it's so much cheaper. Console hardware and gamers are very expensive in those countries, so I'm not surprised they are playing the PC versions.

I am quite sure there are more gamers in Sweden than a few "hundred".  Even if that is the case, why should it matter?  As long as they are still selling well in ANY region it is only a good thing.  If anything I am glad PC games are selling well, regardless of where it is that they are selling.

Hahaha i called it before i saw it, you're from the US :D Jay Leno´s Jaywalk comes to mind haha sorry.

A "few hundred" out of 9.5m. Math on 500 gamers out of 9.5m is one gamer in every 19.000 citizens. And one in ever 19.000 compared to US population of 300.000.000, puts the total gamer count in the US to 15800 gamers in the entire US :D Hahaha.

And PC prices has nothing to do with PC sales, our far advanced tech friendly country combined with the "Home PC"-program most companies got in the 90's is a better reason. A program where anyone employed to a company could get a Home PC tax free, and pay for it with a small sum every month off of their paycheck.

Sweden is one of the most tech ready countries in the world. Witch adds to why PC gaming is big up north.

You don't know much about Sweden do you? It has a GDP per capita almost as high as the US.

Nice to see NSMB being so high up too. And CS Anthology, lol. I knew CS was big here, but still selling in the top 20's after all these years? Awesome.
