Welcome to PC Digital Download Sales week 2! This is a weekly feature on Player Affinity where we look at the best selling games on the PC platform every Sunday with data from 3:00 PM. The info is collected from both Steam and Direct2Drive's top 10 seller lists. This week, Direct2Drive had a great sale giving a lot of games away for only $6. Pretty good, huh? As a result, that influenced this week's top 10 sales.
Steam Top 10
1) Company of Heroes Complete Pack - $12.50 [-75%]
2) Mafia II - $49.99
3) R.U.S.E. - $49.99
4) Worms Reloaded - $19.99
5) Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - $29.99
6) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - $59.99

10) Counter-Strike: Source - $19.99 Direct2Drive Top 10
1) Tropico 3 - $6.00
2) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - $49.95
3) Civilization IV: The Complete Edition - $39.95
4) Titan Quest Bundle - $6.00
5) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - $6.00
6) Dragon Age: Origins Awakening - $29.95
7) Puzzle Quest 2 - $14.95
8) The Sims 3 - $49.95
9) Jedi Knight Bundle - $6.00
10) Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - $29.95 First, let's talk about Steam. Steam, as always, had a really low price on a game collection, and the collection sold well as a result but the Company of Heroes sale won't be around for much longer. Mafia II jumped up a notch, probably due to word of mouth. R.U.S.E. is a new release, so that will sell well for the next couple of weeks; whether or not it stays much longer than that all depends on the reviews. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is already lower down on the list for a new release, so it won't stay for much longer. Civilization V will keep selling until weeks, or months after it's release. Everything else is standard fare for Steam.
So Direct2Drive put a lot of games on sale for $6, and Tropico 3, Titan Quest, Knights of the Old Republic, and Jedi Knight Bundle got on the list as a result. It's kind of interesting how Star Wars fans will jump at the chance to download Star Wars games if given the right price, so this week could be a good benchmark for Direct2Drive's Star Wars demographic. The only other sale was a sale I thought would never happen, Modern Warfare 2 going from $59.95 to $49.95. Activision must be comfortable giving Direct2Drive a sale, but not Steam, which is a little strange. Steam is less mainstream, and Direct2Drive gets more ads, so maybe Activision thought this would be a better way to sell their game, even though Modern Warfare 2 has built in Steam support. Anyway, Civilization IV is still selling due to hype over Civilization V, Puzzle Quest 2 is there for unknown reasons, and the rest is pretty common for Direct2Drive.
