Bethesda Boasts Impressive Skyrim Figures

Skyrim is apparently popular.

Bethesda has announced the sales figures for the first month of sales for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The RPG which recently won the Game of the Year award on Spike's Video Game Awards show, has apparently sold well, to go along with the critical acclaim that has been bestowed upon it.

Worldwide, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has shipped over 10 million copies. In the process, the PC version of Skyrim claimed the number one spot on Valve's Steam Distribution Network for fastest selling title of all time.

The RPG received over 200 perfect review scores worldwide, and is one of the highest rated games of not only this year, but this generation. With many gaming publications getting set to unveil their picks for the 2011 Game of the Year, expect Skyrim to add even more accolades to their already swelling list of achievements.

Good game. Definitely deserves to sell well. While personally I prefer a more structured type of experience, I definitely did play Skyrim for a minute, but it’s something that I just play until I’ve had my fill.

I might not ever finish it, not completely finish the story, but it’s an incredibly crafted experience. I just tend to wander off after a while of playing a game like Fallout or Skyrim and never really come back to it for some reason.
