Skyrim Posts Huge Numbers |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a pretty big deal. We knew that already, especially after watching it pass Modern Warfare 3 on the weekly UK sales charts and crash to the top of the pre-order list earlier this year. But it wasn’t really clear how big a deal the game is until today, when Bethesda confirmed that they have shipped over 10 million copies of their latest opus.
The parent company of Bethesda, ZeniMax Media, boasts that these numbers equal about $650 million in revenue. Sure, it’s not a billion in 16 days, but it’s certainly no small amount of cash. The game also broke records on Steam, with Valve’s Jason Holtman confirming that Skyrim is the fastest-selling game in the history of the digital distribution platform. It’s worth noting that ZeniMax’s revenue estimate assumes people will purchase every shipped copy of the game at full price.
Skyrim's Steam sales even managed to outstrip Modern Warfare 3 – by all other measures the largest entertainment product ever launched. Though Skyrim has been marred by bugs since release, most critics and gamers are giving it favorable reviews and the massive sales instill hope that developers may be more willing to work on huge, expansive projects.
The holiday season is still charging on, so it will be a few weeks before we find out where everyone landed. But look for Skyrim to have a sizeable impact on game sales this year – the one RPG in a sea of shooters. Here’s hoping this inspires more RPGs from other studios.
Did you pick up a copy of Skyrim already? Any complaints?
