ELSPA Charts - PC - Olympic fever brings the sole new entry

Tuesday 19th of August, 2008 - 20:01:31 GMT

There was no change to the top four games yet again, so see last week's PC rundown. However, Sins of a Solar Empire moved to midtable, allowing a massive leap of 17 places for the PC version of Beijing 2008 to rise to no.6 after only a fortnight. This added weight of PC sales also allowed the Olympics game to vault to no. 3 on the All Formats chart, in the bronze medal position behind Wii Fit and SoulCalibur 4.

Though the new PC entry sent three games downward, the EA sandwich moved to the bottom of the top 10 due to CnC 3 dropping to no.9, but Crysis rising to no.10 as people rush to play through the first game before Warhead's release on 12th September. Mid table is just below its best chart position since the launch last November.

GRID's massive drop sent it out of the chart altogether following last week's relative recovery. Stronghold failed to make any headway either, joining GRID and the standard edition of Flight Simulator X on a nosedive back out of the chart. Due to both the Physx pack from Nvidia and the release of Community Bonus Pack content, Unreal Tournament III has re-appeared in the PC Chart for the first time in months, taking Crysis's averaged position at 12. Despite uncertainties over the expansion pack's publishing arrangements, World In Conflict re entered the chart at 16 two weeks after marking half a year on sale, while Sim City Societies edged into the bottom of the chart once more, having been released the week before The Soviet RTS.
