only be possible if steam/gog etc publicly displayed some kind of sales stats for each game, but as far as I'm aware, they don't, & probably won't.

This place
here is also quite interesting... it gives various summaries & breakdowns of units sold of Deponia. I don't know if it is accurate/official or not though.
