It couldn't outsell Battlefield BC 2 preorders on Steam? It couldn't outsell a bunch of games I've never even heard of on Impulse? How exactly is this suggesting that it will be a huge seller on PC? 2 out of the 3 lists don't suggest it being a big deal at all, and the vast difference between the D2D and Steam buying habits suggests to me these lists aren't worth a damn to determine sales.

Its because shio loves to make stuff up :-p

But in all seriousness: Impulse is primarily designed for Stardock games, not 3rd party games. D2D and Steam are where the sales are, as they control 80% of DD market share between them.

Mass Effect sold ~60-70k on Steam, so I am unsure how high these numbers are for ME2 right now. Dragon Age sold about 90k on Steam, so I doubt that ME2 will sell a whole league better.

Wow, that seems kinda low.  How are you estimating Steam sales?

Also,  PC gaming revenue is rising due to a large increase in casual gaming from companies such as Zynga.  It is not due to a growth in the core pc gamer sector.
