I'm also fascinated with how this site has gained a small interest in PC sales data despite the user base on here being very minute and well the majority of users not being generally interested in the platform and I know people don't just live their life to look at PC sales and nod their head on a forum, there's more reason to be "intrigued" than that. |
I don't really find it weird at all. This is a site that's dedicated to tracking sales, and I think a lot of users here have a sort of "abnormal" (for lack of a better word) interest in these kinda numbers and metrics. It's the same reason why quite a few people here are rather interested in the Box Office I think. It's just that up until recently, we had no semi-relaible source for sales on PC, but now we do.
I see people using Steamspy quite a lot here when discussing sales really.
And also I think you underestimate the amount of people that game on PC here. Just because someone is primarily a console gamer doesn't mean they don't have a Steam account and own a fair few games. (I consider myself a "console gamer" but last year I almost only gamed on PC, and while my library isn't as astronomically large as some PC gamers' is, I do have 48 games in my Steam library).
