Skyrim Sales Figures

Skyrim has been a worldwide success since it’s release last week and is fast becoming a great contender for Game of the Year. Forums are filled with people asking about followers, marriage and the value of Bonemeal but even that doesn’t pull us away from our game for long.

2011 is of course the year of the incredible game sales and Skyrim has been no exception. It has already beaten Gears of War 3 and Fifa 12 for first week sale and is currently on par with Battlefield 3 after only 3 days of sales. Only Modern Warfare is currently ahead of Skyrim, which for any RPG is an incredible accomplishment.

In total now Skyrim has sold a staggering 3.4 million units not including digital sales. This is 600% over the Oblivions modest 490k staggered opening on PS3 and Xbox 360. Skyrim is actually on course to completely outsell Oblivion in a matter of weeks.

To break these figures down for you it has been confirmed that 59% of the total Skyrim sales were on the Xbox 360 with a total of more than 2 million copies sold. The Playstation 3 came in behind this with 27% of the sale share and 14% being sold on PC.
