At one point it seemed like there was just no stopping the Steam Deck but now it seems after being available for 1 year and around 8 months or so, the Steam Deck has started to move down the top sellers on Steam.
Measuring by units would be WAY more skewed. The top 10 would all be free items, or if you exclude those $0.01 items. Measuring gross revenue is much harder to game unless you count “actually selling $500 hardware a lot” as cheating somehow.
Wasn’t this stat pretty skewed since it measures gross revenue and not units sold? So the Deck had a ~10x advantage over everything else?

I mean normalizing by dollar spent makes the list useful. It’s not a “most units sold” list. It’s a where is everyone spending money list.
Absolutely true, this is from gross revenue instead of units purchased. Getting a few sales as a 40-dollar game can get you pretty high on the list.
