The latest PC sales figures from marketing research firm NPD Group are in, showing the ten most popular games at US retailers from January 4-10, 2009. After being dethroned by The Sims 2 Double Deluxe last week, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King reassumed the top spot. Meanwhile, Left 4 Dead rose from #7 to #3, Call of Duty and Fallout 3 dropped a few spots, and Red Alert 3 reappeared, probably because of a lower price.
