The Top 100 Best-Selling PC Games of the Century

Ground Glass writes "They already did this for consoles and handhelds, but now Next Generationhas finished the cycle by releasing a rather more interesting list of the best-selling PC games released since 2000. It's more interesting as, since most everyone has a Windows PC in some form or another, the games that are purchased for it are...rather more esoteric than you'd see being bought on console. You may also notice the sales numbers are quite a bit lower than on the other lists — is this the spectre of piracy given form? In any case, there's plenty of data to interpret here."

    You know when scrabble beats ghost recon....or freaking clue was higher on the list than Morrowind
    I have to call shenanigans. Let's see what else we have.
    Tonka Dig N Rigs Play set one below MechWarrior 4?
    Bob the builder 1 below Far cry? wow this is getting funny.
    Wow the game of life as better than Unreal 2k3
    weee Atari arcade hits higher than Rome Total war.
    OMFG Barbie pet rescue higher than Far Cry Unreal 2k3 Ghost recon and Morrowind....what the freaking hell

    This is just completely bogus. Half of these crazy ass games that out shot the major hits I haven't even heard of...I mean seriously BARBIE PET RESCUE number 28 on the list...
    Anyone else find these to be a bit bogus?
