Yes, Hitman is number 1 and 2. Blame gamespot.
MP games sell much more in the US and a lot less in the UK. Or maybe it's just this week.

A little farther back and you get

Best-selling PC games for the week of December 28, 2003 to January 3, 2004:

Rank / Title / Publisher / Average Price
1 / Call of Duty / Activision / $41
2 / The Sims: Makin' Magic / EA / $29
3 / The Sims Deluxe / EA / $20
4 / Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection / Microsoft / $28
5 / The Sims Double Deluxe / EA / $40
6 / Age of Mythology / Microsoft / $34
7 / The Sims: Superstar / EA / $28
8 / The Sims: Unleashed* / EA / $29
9 / The Sims: Hot Date* / EA / $29
10 / Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic* / LucasArts / $29

Sure, you'd need a much better analysis to draw real conclusion. But atleast you can see that neither of the genre (MP or SP) as a real advantage over the other. On the upside, The Sims are loosing ground. Wich can only be good for PC gaming as a whole
