would be really awesome! but i would be more interested to see that for germany because pc gaming is big here and a lot of it is digital with steam and so on...

Actually outside of Steam deals and huge sellers (Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 etc.) don't expect much to change on a weekly scale.

Most PC sales come from budget priced games and indie games.
A top seller list would become meaningless quickly when there's one HumbleBundle on sale for example and at the same time a PC version of a popular multiplat game is released but only found on place #6.
So the future top seller list would need to be sorted by revenue and then the HB games wouldn't appear either (just as they don't appear right now).

Furthermore:

38% of all games in Germany are sold digitally, but they only represent 11% of the revenue.

Another thing:
http://www.biu-online.de/de/fakten/marktzahlen/die-deutsche-gamesbranche-2012.html

1.5bn Euro revenue from games, 11% of them are digital, so 165m Euro revenue.
PC gaming brought it 464m Euro revenue, so AT BEST 36% of all PC gaming revenue is from digital sales.

Great data. Thanks for the heads up!
