I have no need to write a rebuttal, as I'm not making any arguments. The numbers I posted come from the PC Data November report. The numbers represent about 80% of units sold retail in the US, as I believe I mentioned. I'd post console numbers if I had them. I'd post worldwide numbers if I had them. I don't. I'm sharing the information that I _do_ have, which can give some insight into one (large) segment of the industry.

I know that both Half Life and Tomb Raider 3 were released late in the month (TR 3 on the 11/23, Half Life on the 19th), so they both got a week and a half of sales (Half Life got an extra weekend over TR3). If this is an indication of how the two will sell longer term, they should be doing very nicely in December!

IGN gives a good review to Gangsters (http://pc.ign.com/reviews.html) and Theif, rating both higher than TR3.
