PC sales charts

NPD has released the latest monthly and weekly PC game sales charts. In the weekly chart, Master of Orion III has dropped from first to second place and has a big debut on the monthly chart at number eight. A few other games reshuffled their places in the weekly chart, and the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault expansion pack is the only game on the list that wasn't on last week's. The monthly chart offers ample evidence of how many major PC games were released in February, as six games in the top 20 are new releases.
