Ubisoft’s latest addition to its Tom Clancy franchise, flight sim HAWX, debuts strongly in fourth position, one place ahead of Microsoft’s Halo RTS Halo Wars, which slips from second to fifth.

RETAIL BIZ: Well done Sega
Retail Biz: Actually impressed to see Empire: Total War take the top spot. I would have put money on it not even making the Top 10. But I've been proved wrong, and it's a testament to Sega for putting the money behind the game.
Oh, and I was surprised last week when Killzone toppled Halo Wars. Unpredictable.

But ...PC gaming is dead?
Right?
Wonder how well it did with digital distribution on top of that too.
Re: Re: RETAIL BIZ: Well done Sega
Just goes to show that games aimed at giving players a deep but accessible experience aren't for a "minority of hardcore players". There is space in the market for variety of experiences and game types. And as people have been saying PC gaming is dead since the release of PS1 we need to start looking at the people saying it and say: "Is it just wishful thinking?"
