Blobbers don't seem to be doing very well. Grimrock 2's sales aren't particularly impressive either.

I love Heroes but yeah, I'd much rather have them working on MMXI.
Well, 150k on Steam. Other DD retailers sell Uplay keys. That said, I doubt the total (Steam + Uplay keys + physical release) is more than 500k.

500K would be fantastic, sadly I don't think it's even close to that.
Which are still numbers most (non AAA) RPGs can only dream of.
But well, Ubi being Ubi...

People are bad and should feel bad.
And I had pi-rat pictures in my thread and everything!
Actually, there's a few DD retailers that sell Steam keys for it. Macgamestore, for example, sells a steam key for it and it goes often on sale.
Wait a couple of days for more accurate data. I really doubt it only sold 15k.
Ah, yeah, forgot about M/WGS. I'm not aware of any other DD retailer that sells Steam keys, though.

Greenmangaming, Amazon, a few others, IIRC.
This is not about websites that sell Steam keys, but about websites that sell Steam keys for Might & Magic X.
To note I'm not sure it's entirely up to date yet since Valk is still showing the old numbers.
That said I wouldn't be surprised if this was true.
Is that number supposed to be THAT bad? I mean, blobber is niche as hell.

It's probably bad by Ubisoft standards, but yeah, I don't think those numbers are poor for the genre.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Witcher 3
According to Steam Spy Steam sales are around 600.000 +- 23.000
The thought that there could potentially be ~36.000 people who buy non EA/Ubisoft games on Origin/UPlay is disturbing.Great GoG Numbers though.

"alright fellas, maybe we can finally show them Vanquish for Steam... "
Hardly anyone actually wants to, because none of the big players have to show their specific data, while small players are basically forced to play handicapped with all their stuff known because they have to use the big players to sell their games.

They're old games and most of the Steam userbase came much later. Valve is Dota 2 and CS Go to most people now.
Im 25 and have never owned or played a HL game
Just one of those things.
Pretty excited to see Witcher 3 selling so many copies though
CDP said they are basing the size of Cyberpunk on TW3s sales, so yay
Last one came out almost 10 years ago
People graduating high school right now were in elementary school when Episode 2 released
Excellent stuff.
It's nice to see games like Half Minute Hero 2 and the Hexcell series sell decently (relative to their current sales) despite not being on the front page.
Steam Sale is a period when all your hard PR work on getting noticed and added to wishlist is being converted into actual sales.

Nice!
Did you consider freezing the data on the current sale (at a URL like http://steamspy.com/sale/summer2015) for future reference once the sale is over?
It is possible, sure. I actually thought about re-using this page for all next Steam Sales
Wow, this is awesome!

The Witcher series making bank, no doubt due to the excellence of the Witcher 3.
Edit: Just checking out the dedicated sales page, I can't believe how many games sold more than 10,000 extra copies so far. I would love to see the total number of games sold after the sale ends, it seems to me that it will be something truly mind-boggling.

Even something like Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal which honestly I didn't know existed before (and now think looks cool) sold almost 50.000. And it looks like most are indeed waiting for the dailies, see Payday 2's 0.25%.
Some of smaller games were bundled roughly at the same time and even given out for free, so not everything could be attributed to Steam sales.

True but at least that one wasn't as far as I can see, it was only once in a bundle in 2014.

Nice to see 162K sales for Dishonored. Should roughly make them an extra 1M profit.
Could you change the way Userscore is generated? Currently it only shows the negative/positive ratio, which skewers the results for games with low number of reviews (say, 4 reviews, all positive = 100% Userscore).
How about treating each positive review as a +1 and each negative as -1?
This way, say, Witcher 2 would have ~14,000 instead of 89%, while the game from my example above only 4 instead of 100%.

Like on Reddit? It still wouldn't be accurate, I'm afraid.

This is a terrible idea. This makes it basically impossible to derive any useful information besides "hey this game sold a lot and people didn't all completely loathe it." Just show the number of reviews next to the percentage rating.
Yes, but you need to register.
