Don't know how you managed to get to 30% with almost 10 milion out of 20, but hey.
Maybe just actually read my post? Beth confirmed in January LAST YEAR that Skyrim has sold 20 million+. The number TODAY according to SteamSpy is ~9.25 million on PC (and, yes, Steam is required for Skyrim so that's the total number of PC copies out there since the SteamSpy number is game OWNERS and not just Steam sales).
So, it is not reasonable to think that console versions all of a sudden stopped selling since January last year while only the PC kept marching forward.
I haven't looked up historical data on PC owners (i.e. the number of owners in January 2014 when Beth confirmed 20 million+) but I would not be surprised if it would be ~7.x million so about 30% of what they confirmed back then.
I further assume that the ratio has not shifted much since then so my rough guess is that we might be at ~27 million sales total by now (~18 million consoles + ~9 million PC). SteamSpy is not really 100% accurate anyway.
So all in all give or take a few percent but nothing major…
Secondly, if this really is the real SteamSpy guy, then I sincerely hope for him that his Twitter account got hijacked or something because that's just retarded. 107 million copies in four months… LOL. What a moron.
And why do those mythical 107 million copies not even show up on his own database???
EDIT: Ah I see now he says 107 million total game sales on Steam (not TES or Skyrim). I was misled because Nameless said that
Skyrim sold more than all consoles combines and then put that link as proof so the context was not immediately clear to me.
Anyway, not sure what the 107 million total PC sales -however accurate that number might be- are supposed to prove (most of them heavy discount summer sales no doubt). No one is saying the PC is completely worthless but it is just not making the same money as compared to consoles. That's the main issue.
Thirdly, I just need to look at publicly available financial reports from big publishers to tell how well the PC is doing instead of the way more questionable SteamSpy numbers (I'm not saying SteamSpy numbers are total bull but compared to financial reports which must be accurate according to law they are simply inferior).
Feel free to head to the investor relations websites of Ubi, Take2 or EA. They all publish sales/revenue by platform numbers these days. You will find out that the PC usually makes up for approximately 15% to 25% of revenue while consoles are usually in the 60% to 70% range.
There is a real reason the PC is neglected. It's just not pulling in the same kind of moolah as the consoles.
I'm 100% a PC master race dude and I think it sucks just as much as the next PC guy but that's just how it is. Reality.
To think that the PC is "secretly" doing much better than anyone wants us to believe is conspiracy nutjob territory. If one thing is guaranteed then that greedy publishers will follow the scent of the holy dollar and unfortunately they are making way more holy dollars from the console peasants than from us so that's life for us…
