NPDTechworld's most recent PC game sales chart includes three products in The Sims franchise, but not The Sims Online. EA released the online incarnation of the popular virtual-life game on December 15, but it didn't make the top-10 chart for that week. This pre-Christmas chart was dominated by established best-sellers, many of which are selling for less than $30.
