I'd like to dig deeper into the data to see what's really going on. It could just be that the best-selling titles don't have demos, hence the sales skew. Interesting info nonetheless.
I'll give it a bite and go with it with this thought: Have you ever tried a demo for a game you didn't want to probably buy? Most gamers who download a demo are those who probably had plans to buy the game. If the demo is good, then their opinion is unchanged. If the demo is bad, however, then they won't want to buy the game anymore. People who are unlikely to buy your game probably won't try the demo, so a good demo won't influence them.
It's an interesting thought.
