Aion Clings to Digital Top 10

Posted November 5th, 2009 by Savanja

Still topping sales charts a month after release
Aion - Anturoon Coast
After topping digital download charts for pre-orders and continuing to dominate after release, Aion is finally dropping to the bottom of the top 10 a month after release. Direct2Drive and Steam have released their top 10 lists for the week of October 25-31 which very well could be the last week the game shows up on these charts at all.

Direct2Drive:

1. Borderlands
2. Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Edition (Preorder)
3. Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Ed. w/ Prima Guide(Preorder)
4. Torchlight
5. Tropico 3
6. Dragon Age: Origins (Preorder)
7. Civilization 4: The Complete Edition
8. Aion
9. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (Halloween Promo)
10. Risen

Steam:

1. Borderlands LW: 1
2. Left 4 Dead 2 (Pre-Order) LW: 2
3. Torchlight LW: Not Listed
4. Football Manager 2010 LW: Not Listed
4. Dragon Age Origins: Digital Deluxe Edition (Pre-Order) LW: 3
5. Killing Floor LW: 10
6. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Pre-Order) LW: 5
7. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Sale) LW: Not Listed
8. Dragon Age Origins LW: 4 (Pre-Order)
9. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (Sale) LW: Not Listed
10. Team Fortress 2 (Sale) LW: Not Listed
10. Aion: Standard Edition LW: 7

Aion certainly had a good run on sales charts and as routine sets in for gamers who have decided to stick around after the first free month, sales will start to find their comfortable groove for the time being.

So now that the initial mad dash has subsided, did Aion find a solid playerbase? It is still pretty populated on my servers, let us know how it's looking from where you play by clicking the "Post your comments" link below.

Once everyone that has been skeptical of trusting Bioware since the EA buyout gets a chance to see or play it at their friends house this weekend, those #1 spots will belong to Dragon Age once again!


EDIT: oi I must be tired...thought this was in another location a sec ago and was about Dragon Age!
