PC Sales Charts: Yeah Yeah, Aion
With the game out this week, you’d think sales of MMO Aion would have dropped off. That maybe it was one of those “get in early” types of games, with sales dying down once it was released. Nope. NCSoft’s MMO is still #1 on both the Steam and Direct2Drive charts, to the point where it…
