Seven million copies of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim have been shipped to retailers since its launch last week, publisher Bethesda has announced. More than half of that figure was sold in the game's first 48 hours on shelves. In a press release, game director Todd Howard said: "Without a doubt, this has been our most ambitious project ever. After over three years of development, we're finally excited to get it into everyone's hands." Robert Altman, chairman and CEO of Bethesda parent Zenimax Media, added: "We are grateful for the fans' response to Skyrim. Todd Howard and his team at Bethesda have crafted a very special game.
"Anticipation for Skyrim has surpassed [that of] any game in our company's history, and we are pleased that sales and reviews have reflected the quality and hours of amazing gameplay it provides."
GameInversion This game is a true example of what paying $60 dollars for a game should get you. Endless hours of fun and exploration and endless possibilities of things to do. Along with replay value.
I love all different kinds of games so it is really hard for me to find the time to play them all but once I open up Skyrim on my PC I find it very hard to go play anything else.
Unlike cod it's not repititive for 4 years with minor innovation. Skyrim shoulda instantly be GOTY
Never got this game but i bet you it well polished and not something rushed like gears 3 xp even though they had all that time, Gears of war 3 could have been much much better and im sooooo getting this game sooner or later
