Sims 3 Tops Weekly US PC Chart

NPD Group announces plans to stop freely distributing weekly PC game rankings, but The Sims 3 once again leads the wider software chart.

The Sims 3 has topped boxed PC software sales for the second week running in the US.

While market research firm the NPD Group has announced that it will no longer freely distribute weekly PC game sales data to the media, its latest rankings for the wider PC software market show The Sims 3 as the only game to crack the top ten during the week ended June 13.

The title held the number one spot ahead of a range of business and home education products, although the collector’s edition of the game, which placed second the week before, slipped out of the top ten.

NPD will continue to issue monthly PC sales charts, according to ShackNews.
