Here's another top selling list, this time on the
PC side. Although there are no THQ games, I was
astounded by #4. From FGN.ONLINE:
<<� Hunter
II Blasts Charts
PC: Deer Hunter II from GT
Interactive has come in top in the recently released top ten
from PC Data. The popularity of abject animal massacre
never ceases to amaze. Here's the list in
full.
1. Deer Hunter II 3D (GT) 2. Links LS Golf '99
Upgrade (Access) 3. Diablo (Cendant) 4. Rugrats Adventure
Game (Learning Co.) 5. Play With The Teletubbies
(Cendant) 6. Civil War Generals 2 (Cendant) 7. Starcraft
(Cendant) 8. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (Red Storm) 9. Barbie
Nail Designer (Mattel) 10. Lego Island (Learning
Company)>>
Rugrats for PC selling well???? I never would have
imagined that PC games for the pre-teen set would sell so
well, but there's a few others on the list as well
(Lego, Teletubbies, Barbie).
Watch out for our
Rugrats release! I think this one's going to do even
better than I anticipated. I'll give early
congratulations to the THQ crew on this one.
In
anticipation of the Rugrats campaign, I picked up some March
30 calls yesterday, and I'm thinking about getting
some for June now. With Revenge selling awesome,
Rugrats and WCW for PC coming up, and with the
reinvigoration of Gameboy sales through the color Gameboy, this
quarter promises to be absolutely huge. Just imagine, in
3 months we're going to be talking about how we can
top 4Q next year. I suspect that once we have some
early returns on Rugrats, we'll see a few upgrades on
quarterly estimates.
