Site for PC Game Sales Numbers?

[leo8877]

Hey gang, is there a site that tracks video game sales?  Something like boxofficemojo.com for games?

There's a private group that does that.  I believe it costs several thousands of dollars to get their updates with sales numbers.  They are the NPD group, however they do not include Wal-Mart stores (just a little FYI).

AVault has the weekly(?) top 10 list for PC games, and I'm sure they do console games too.

Wal-Mart doesn't provide any of their numbers to anyone anymore from what I know.  I work for a market research company, and a couple of years ago Wal-Mart decided that they weren't going to sell their data anymore.  It sure did turn our world upside down.

The NPDs might become a bit more readily available.  NPD took over or for or bought out PC Data I believe.  While still not readily available to the public there are forums you can go to every month where console sales data is leaked and I expect to see more PC data popping up now that NPd is covering it.  Doom 3, for example, had sales of approx 375,000 in the month of August.  I can't remember the exact number off hand.

[EDITED TO ADD] For comparison, the number two title of August only sold 29,000 so the delta between Doom 3 and the rest of the PC titles is huge.

I was recently told that the forums at gaming-age.com are very into sales numbers. Someone there has access to the sales records and will disclose upon request.
