its always a good thing when pokemon gets beaten. I freaking hate Pokemon. F.U. Pokemon!
Pokémon knocked off the top
The inevitable has finally happened. Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver have been supplanted in the top spot on the PC Data sales charts.
PC Data has released its list of the top-selling video games for the week ending January 27. The Game Boy Color continued its platform dominance by taking the top three slots. Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color took top honors, while Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Gold closed out the top three. Sega's Metropolis Street Racer dropped off the chart after entering at number six last week, but NBA 2K1 picked up the slack at number five. Madden NFL 2001 for the PlayStation 2 continued to be the hottest PlayStation 2 title, while SSX made a return appearance.
