After a busy month of new releases in the October U.S. PC charts, there has been much fewer new PC titles in November, with little other movement in the top ten bar the sudden rise of
Call of Duty 2 to the number one position. This is in part due to its release at the very end of October, as well as strong marketing for the Xbox 360 version.
The highest new entry for the North American PC market was the more console orientated
Star Wars: Battlefront II at number four, with
Battlefield 2 expansion pack
Special Forces at number ten.
Outside of the top ten movie license
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire entered at number eleven, with
The Sims 2 Holiday Edition (which contains both the original game and the Christmas themed mini-expansion) at number twelve. Lionhead Studios’
The Movies, meanwhile, made a disappointing new entry at number fifteen.
