And if those three titles are really only 12% (still find that hard to believe, especially if you look at the Orange Box components individually) then what are the other big PC sellers? There really shouldn't be that many of them.

When I was tracking German sales for a major publisher the game ranked 300 for the week on PC sold a few hundreds. It was more than N°100 on any console.
Top 10 on PC was just the tip of the iceberg because PC games continue to sale for a LONG time and the back catalogue is huge.
Also COD4, Stalker, C&C3, Supreme Commander, The Witcher, Crysis were all released in 2007 along with genre games like Trackmania United, Silent Hunter 4 and Race 07, Broken Sword 4...

Yeah, but how much did those games sell? Probably not enough to actually make money (which is *the* most important thing) or nothing close to their console counterpart (which goes against saying PC is bigger than console).
Though yes, PC games do sell for years but that's only for those huge games like the Diablo's and C&C's. Do all those other smaller games really sell that much for that long of a time? Any more than a console game does for a long time?

Let's say that first week of C&C3 in Germany (ONLY) would be enough to put it on the podium in others this week on VGC.
