Being backed by Valve, if the Vive wasn't winning on Steam something would be seriously wrong.

  For more context, the default store on Oculus is Oculus Home, not Steam. Even so much as when you put a Rift on your head you are by default in Oculus Home.

    That does not cancel the fact, that only a minority of desktop gamers do not have Steam constantly running on their PCs.

  I think it's very likely that if you own an Oculus, you have Steam as well. Perhaps a correlation between 90-95% (VR has more uses than just games but games is what they're leading with. Steam = Games.) The opposite is not true: if you have a Vive you won't have Oculus' store app. So drawing conclusions from Valve's numbers is reasonable, as long as you understand the caveats.

  It's not winning on Steam, but winning among all users who also have Steam. Still, it is probably an imperfect survey - not sure how they detect presence of a Rift. Maybe the Rift tends to be not plugged in for typical Steam games, so many Rift owners remain undetected (just saying that is a possibility, not that it is the case).
