Diablo III Annoucement Boosts Diablo II Sales.

[SonicSpeed]

As we've all seen throughout, there has been a resurgence of Diablo 2 among long time fans, and new fans. This is shown by the top ten best sellers last week. Granted it still has a long way to go to outsell World of Warcraft, and The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff.

The collection of Diablo, Diablo II and the expansion pack Lord of Destruction came in at number 10 for the week. This was a few days before the widely expected announcement of Diablo III.

The rest of the top test is full of EA Maxis titles with Spore Creature Creator staying at number one for the second straight week and four Sims 2 titles in the top 10 as well. Three other Blizzard titles are in the top 10 as well. Despite a ton of hype, Atari's survival horror revamp Alone in the Dark failed to make the top 10 for the PC platform in its debut week.

• 1. Spore Creature Creator - Maxis/EA
• 2. The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff - Maxis/EA
• 3. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe- Maxis/EA
• 4. World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest- Blizzard
• 5. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Funcom/Eidos
• 6. World Of Warcraft- Blizzard
• 7. The Sims 2 FreeTime - Maxis/EA
• 8. The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff - Maxis/EA
• 9. Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare- Activision
• 10. Diablo Battle Chest - Blizzard

Yes Craig, I know that. This list is only measuring Retail Sales. As such, the only retail D2 product is the Battle Chest which retails for $40.
