Skyrim outsells all Xbox 360, PS3 exclusives

Quote :

Back in December, Bethesda announced that 10 million units of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had been shipped representing approximately $650 million in retail sales since its November 11th release. At the time, the PC version of Skyrim in North America outsold all other PC games by 3:1 ratio in the month of its release, becoming the fastest selling title in Steam's history.
Of course, the console is a totally different beast, and one that Skyrim has taken head on and made its bi*ch. In a press release today focused mainly on the success of the recently released Skyrim Creation Kit and Steam Workshop, it was revealed that the console versions of Skyrim garnered equally strong fan demand.
In fact, "The Xbox 360 version of Skyrim outsold all Xbox 360 exclusive titles in 2011 in North America," Bethesda revealed. Not bad considering the Xbox 360 saw releases for games like Gears of War 3, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, and Forza Motorsport 4. Quite an impressive feat considering Gears of War 3 was the ending to a very successful Xbox 360-exclusive trilogy.
Even more impressive, however, was the fact that "Skyrim on PS3 also outsold all PlayStation 3 exclusive titles on that platform." Despite a very strong exclusive lineup in 2011, Skyrim managed to outsell Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Killzone 3, and inFAMOUS 2.
Skyrim has been on the receiving ends of multiple awards including dozens of "Game of the Year" awards from major outlets, including the most recent honor from the 15th Annual 2012 Interactive Achievement Awards.

Meh...

Skyrim was nothing but a huge dissapointment.

Not surprising. The popularity for this game just blew up sky high when it was released.

I still have yet to play much of it, despite owning it.

Good to see an RPG like Skyrim do well against the cancer that is the FPS genre.

Great game.

I find it ironic that this is posted by the guy who doesn't care about sales.

Maybe he posted it so other people could see? I don't care much about Mass Effect 3, but if I stumbled onto some news about it that wasn't posted here, I would definitely post it.

Well we all know Epzaos is addicted to skyrim.

I find it ironic that I'm getting criticised by the guy who has been posting really random stuff lately.

Yeah, that's the reason I posted this in the first place, but our friend above is a slow learner.

Caim down my Greek friend. I'm not criticising you. I just find it kinda funny that you always say "Who cares about sales?" or "Fuck sales!" yet you posted this. Just Saiyan.

Oh great, now I must confess my hypocrisy(sarcasm).

I don't expect you too. I know how it feels when one of your favorite games makes a lot of money.

This thread has nothing to do with Epzaos. He was just posting news.

Well who didn't see that one coming?

Yeah, I really miss that clunky combat system, and those repetitive missions....
