Pokémon continues its domination
The sales charts are in, and Pokémon continues its reign at the top while a certain Dreamcast racer cracks the top 10.
PC Data has released its list of the top-selling video games for the week ending January 20. The Game Boy Color has a choke hold on the top 10, holding down five of the top seven spots. Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Gold continued to keep the cash registers busy while discounted older games filled out the bottoms of most of the charts. Sega's Metropolis Street Racer for the Dreamcast debuted at a respectable number six.
