During the first day of release, Steam showed over 230,000 people playing Skyrim concurrently.^[114] Within two days of the game's launch, 3.4 million physical copies were sold. Of those sales, 59% were for the Xbox 360, 27% for the PS3, and 14% for the PC.^[115] In the first week of release, Bethesda stated that 7 million copies of the game had been shipped to retailers worldwide, and that total sales through the following Wednesday were expected to generate an estimated US$450 million.^[116][117] By December 16, 2011, this had risen to 10 million copies shipped to retail and around US$620 million.^[118] Additionally, Valve stated that it was the fastest selling game to date on their Steam platform.^[118]Steam's statistics page showed the client breaking a five million user record by having 5,012,468 users logged in January 2, 2012. Total number of sold copies on the PC platform is difficult to confirm because Steam doesn't publicly publish digital sales.^[119] During this time, Skyrim was the most-played game on Steam by a huge margin, with double the number of players as Team Fortress 2, the second-placed game.^[120] In the United Kingdom, Skyrim was the 9th best selling title of 2012.^[121] In June 2013, Bethesda announced that over 20 million copies of the game had been sold.^[122] Regarding sales on the PC, Todd Howard stated in an interview with Rock, Paper, Shotgun that “Skyrim did better than we’ve ever done on PC by a large, large number. And that’s where the mods are. That feeds the game for a long time."^[123]

 

출시 초기에는 콘솔의 강세였지만

 

2012년 1월 2일 스팀 통계만으로 500만장 넘게 팔렸습니다

 

그리고 2013년 총 판매량 2000만장 돌파했죠

 

2013년 총판매량 기준 12년 PC판매량만 잡아도 25%네요

 

그럼 13년 총판매량 기준 13년 PC판매량 비율은 어떨까요?

 

이때까지 과연 콘솔 판매량이 늘었을까요?

 

PC 판매량이 늘었을까요?

 

매번 할인때마다 스팀판매량에 선두로 치고 올라온건 아시죠?

 

모드의 위력또한 토드 하워드가 인정했고요
