ZOMG! A PC-only game tops the charts

No existing console controller has enough buttons - and no existing console gamer has enough thumbs - for StarCraft II.  And yet, that game currently sits atop the UK multi-format sales charts.  It's the first PC-only title to do that in recent memory, and the charts don't even include digital distribution sales figures.

Don't expect a slew of PC-first titles until some later stage of human evolution, but this is great news nevertheless.  The Personal Computer remains a viable format, and while the death of consoles is nowhere on the horizon, somebody out there can tell the difference between a Lexus and an El Camino.
