GameSpot reports that Troika's/Sierra's Arcanum has managed to kickstart from, um..., 0th (not listed) to 4th place in NPD Intelect's latest list of best-selling games. Congrats to Troika and Sierra! Whoever thought that RPGs are on their way down the popularity ladder again may have to reconsider. In fact, those people (you know who you are *gg*) have just been proven wrong ;)
If you promise not to comment on this newsbit about Diablo 2 "actually sort of not being a real RPG" (whatever that is) I'll tell you that there are currently 3 RPGs among the top 10 (Diablo 2, Diablo 2 expansion (LoD) and Arcanum). |
