The domination of the PC retail market by Blizzard and Maxis has been well-documented by now but one other striking thing about the sales in that market is how well very old games sell. Check out May's list, courtesy of the NPD:
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (Blizzard)
World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Expansion Pack (Blizzard)
Demigod (Gas Powered Games)
Real Deal Slots Adventure (Phantom EFX)
The SimCity Box (EA)
Fallout 3 (Bethesda)
Diablo Battle Chest (Blizzard)
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition (Bethesda)
Warcraft III Battle Chest (Blizzard)
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II (Relic)
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor (Relic)
The Diablo and StarCraft bundles have managed to crack the top 20 for the second month in a row. The Fallout Trilogy, which includes Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics, had a strong May as well.
