Discounting games does not only increase unit sales--it increases actual revenues.

I know that article. It is from Valve. Be careful wth broad statements like that. The game they talk about had increased sales, but it came with an announcement of upcoming additional content. That alone would have increased sales. We announce a patch and our sales jump by those kind of percentages.
Also, these games were featured on their front page. What they don't say is that any game on their front page does great. That when it drops from the front page, its sales are much, much weaker.
So was it the sale, the announcement of upgrade, or the front page?
