Worth noting that this data is from steamspy (http://steamspy.com/about) so only covers Steam, and is also not fully accurate.

How representative it is of the overall picture I can't say. I would imagine that Telltale's style of games sell more on phones/tablets and on consoles, but of course the sales on those platforms may well show the same trends over time.

Indications seem to be that Minecraft: Story Mode was the studio's next most profitable after TWD S1 (and why the Netflix Minecraft: Story Mode project is the last project in the black-ish and the last project they seem required to try to finish), which is definitely not visible in the steamspy statistics, and definitely an indicator of the importance to non-Steam sales.
