Skyrim has been revealed by Valve, to be Steam's fastest selling game ever. The announcement was made by Valves very own director of business development, Jason Holtman. He went on to say:
"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,"
Skyrim developer Bethesda, has stated that it has shipped 10 million copies of the blockbuster title over all platforms, amounting to a whopping $650 million in retail sales at launch. It has been reported that Skyrim has outsold all other PC games three to one, peaking at 287,411 simultaneous users according to the Steam forums.
The holiday season has been a particularly good one this year, with other blockbuster titles like Modern Warfare 3 breaking numerous records. With the confirmed DLC for Skyrim, and the eagerly awaited Creation Kit, it's clear that 2012 will likely be an interesting year for gaming.
