They have reports for Steam now.

There's nothing on that link.

Anyway, didn't Dragon Age peak at almost 20k? Almost as much as Empire: Total War, and we know that Empire sold 830k in just 3 weeks. And it's weird that a game that peaks 20k in concurrent users only sold 90k, which is totally disproportionate than the norm (especially since a single-player game).

There is a big picture on the front page of the site that says 'Steam'

Do you have a point of reference that says that Empire: Total War sold 830k on Steam? Also, when did Dragon Age peak at 20k? All I see are numbers on Steam that show where it is now - 1,700 players.

Dragon Age peaked right after release, like all games, so of course they're nowhere near their peak now. Yes, DA peaked at 17k or 18k (maybe even 19k) on it's release week.

As for Empire: Total War, all copies are steam-integrated, including the retail copies and the ones in other digital stores like D2D. That means all copies sold of Empire show up on steam stats, although those 830k sold are only shipped numbers I think. Anyway, thinking again, Empire probably peaked over 30k concurrent users, not 20k.

I saw the Steam logo from your link, but they aren't showing any info regarding Steam.

Ah, thank you.

That explains it pretty easily then. Why are you quoting PC sales on a Steam discussion? I am talking about Steam users only. Not Steam verifications, but copies actually downloaded by people on Steam. Data isn't tracked by FADE for users merely validating their copies on Steam. Its for people that download & play on Steam itself.

And the site won't show Steam data - Steam data is paid ala NPD charts. I'm just saying that is where the data is coming from.
