What allot of people forget in regards to sales on PC is that even if a title is old (Even over a decade) all that is needed is a sale and it will top the sales charts again, raking in more money.
On a console after the initial release the game pretty much falls into obscurity.
You will see a few examples of this during the Christmas Steam sales. :)
Unfortunately, publishers don't care about long term, they care about minimal investment with maximum returns and as soon as possible... Which brings us to kickstarter to remove those "walls" to games being released on the PC. :)
Blizzard, Valve and Bethesda are perfect examples of PC gaming thriving and selling 10's of millions of copies of games on just the PC alone.
