And has shipped 10 million copies too, beat that.
It’s been a month and five days since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has released and it has already amassed a hefty 10 million copies in total sales over the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms so far. Not just that, but on the PC, it has become Steam’s fastest selling title in the history of existence of eternity. Ever.
In the month of release, Skyrim actually went on to outsell its PC competitors by a factor of three to one. An all in all astounding achievement by Bethesda Games and a way forward for how the PC console is far from ‘dying’.
I thought that people had an incentive to buy the game on Steam as it arrived a day before it was released on consoles. Pretty good reason to buy it there if that was the case.
