  Sales Charts for November 2004
 


It's number one!

 
This is the final November Mac games chart and last month's easy winner, Myst 4 Revelation DVD has slipped to third in the face of intense competition from the eventual number one Homeworld 2 and the strong contender Football Manager 2005 The ever reliable Call of Duty DVD and Sims Deluxe make up to top five. Frankly the rest of the month's new releases (with the exception of the Macintosh Board Game Trio) were a bunch of damp squibs in sales terms. Let's hope for better news in the Xmas month of December!

Meanwhile, why not take a look at October's charts?
