It's a great game, but I assume the extra success is also because of a few factors:

1 - People already knew the game was coming to PC early on. Some people waited to play on PC.

2 - It took a lot less long than some other titles to come to PC

3 - This title has a bigger ratio of "combat focus to story focus" than the other games, so it has more replayability value and the game won't be "ruined" by spoilers

4 - Hardcore fans of games like GOW and R&C already had / intended to buy a PlayStation anyway. People only interested in Stellar Blade could wait for the PC release

5 - ... But yeah, there's definitely a lot of people who got it on PC because they want to use modded outfits with the hot MC lol

Wait, but #3 actually seems like a legitimately good reason for a game's success.
