The simplest proof is selling RTwP games vs selling Divinity 2.
According to steamspy, divinity sold at least as well as PoE1, PoE2 and Pathfinder combined.
DoS2: between 2-5 million
Pathfinder: between 500-1mln
PoE2: between 500-1 million
PoE1: between 1-2 million

Sales of PoE2 were so bad that to save the game, they had to implement turn-based mode.
So the turns sell much better.
