Aion Doing Well On PC Sales Charts

29 Jul 2009 at 11:41:17 by Tim McDonald

Pre-orders for Aion: Tower of Eternity have bumped it to the top of the Steam sales charts.

The forthcoming MMO's collector's edition has taken the top spot in terms of Steam sales by revenue, which maybe isn't too surprising considering it only hit Steam a few days prior to the week these charts are taken from, and the fact that it costs £44.99 GBP.

If you're interested in Aion, or confused by all the fuss, then check out parts one and two of our own Bill Vaughan's ongoing Aion preview.

Aion doesn't have such a strong showing on Direct2Drive, with the pre-orders coming in ninth, but enough preamble: on with the charts, courtesy of Shacknews.
