Dude your posting on a sales site. It's very easy to look for it yourself. I have already posted the link which shows you Mass Effect 1 at 2.13 million lifetime sales. And that when the PC version came out it had already sold 1.8 million. Now this site puts both together. All you have to do is a bit of math.
Gears 1 is another example. When it came out on PC Gears 1 had already sold 5.8 million on 360. It currently sits at around 6.2 I think ( without looking again. Do the math. Fable is the same etc etc. And M$ havent stopped them being released simulataneously. They have just been games which started dev on 360 first. Then ported to PC. For a certain even ME2 was 360 dev first, but I bet we would have had it sooner if it wasnt for EA stalling for both versions to release.

This site doesn't put both together. That 2.13 million figure is for sales of Mass Effect on 360 ONLY. This website doesn't track PC sales (you'll see on the link PC apparent;y has 0.00 sales) because it's so difficult to do so. On PC digital downloads makes up a very large percentage of sales making tracking sales very difficult and even harder to do so by a region by region basis as a lot of the digital download sites don't release figures.

Some digital download sales numbers will be available in the near future, FYI.
For some games, the numbers aren't rosy. For others, they aren't too bad.

I hope so, for accurracy sake. But as long as Valve remain an Ltd. I'm not sure we'll ever see Steam numbers.
