Bethesda have released that they have shipped 10 million copies of Skyrim… Yes 10 mmmmillion. Seems strange that it’s not just another generic FPS that ships that much (Here’slooking at you CoD). It is also the most highest game currently being played according to the stats on Raptr.
“We are gratified that Skyrim continues to garner high review scores and accolades around the world,” said Robert Altman, Chairman and CEO of ZeniMax Media. “We are most grateful to our fans for their support and enthusiasm for the game, and their love of the hundreds of hours of gameplay it offers.
“We continue to strive to deliver the highest quality entertainment experience for everyone. 2012 will be another huge year for our fans, with the release of the Creation Kit, as well as exciting DLC which will add to the richness of this epic adventure.”
“Skyrim is the fastest selling title in Steam’s history,” said Jason Holtman, Director of Business Development at Valve Corporation.
“Bethesda’s commitment to and understanding of the PC as a gaming platform shows in the great review scores, spectacular launch, and continued high player numbers that Skyrim has received. We are delighted that Bethesda chose to use Steamworks to support Skyrim both at retail and digitally.”
The game also garnered over 200 perfect scores worldwide.
Although Bethesda have been known to distribute buggy games on launch with regards to pretty much most of their titles. I have personally put almost 50 hours into it… found silly bugs but absolutely nothing game breaking to get me frustrated, it has received my personal GoTY due to the fact that I am hooked onto it like crack and doing any side quests I can so the game does not end. Console adopters especially PS3 owners might differ from my opinion but all in all I think this game is brilliant an something I have been waiting for all this year.
