The one page you might want to still see is the
last page, which has some observations and info on how the data was collected. Mainly NPD numbers and only retail sales. This explains why The Orange Box is so low on the list and shows PC with the fewest sales (Valve said OB sold best on PC/Steam). They don't mention it, but it looks like PC is only mentioned in multiplatform games, as I see no PC exclusives on the list. I'm pretty sure Crysis had enough sales to make this list, for example.
Anyway, kind of interesting and sad to read. Just the amount of crap that sells.
