I wonder how many copies DAO sold through Steam (and any other D2D channels). Using VGC numbers, that puts DAO PC retail sales at 1.27 million copies. That is very respectable considering I figured most PC users have moved to D2D services.

If you assume that the shipment of 3.2 million all sold out to customers, which of course it didn't. There's lots of copies on the shelves, so assume at least 500k on store shelves. Which drops your 1.27 mill of PC version to 0.77 mill tops.

Well mistakes happen when I type up a response quickly.  Its hard to say what the actual breakdown would be, but keep in mind that all these numbers will be for retail copies alone.  So unless someone can prove differently, I was under the impression PC retail sales were dead (this is from my personal experience of attempting to track down retail PC games).
