while Skyrim managed "a five-fold increase over Oblivion's first month sales" coming in just a half-million units short of matching its predecessor's lifetime sales.
By november 26th sales looked like this according to vgchartz.
Console | Oblivion | Skyrim | Difference |
360 | 1.90m | 1.637m | 0.263 |
PS3 | 1.12m | 0.677m | 0.443 |
PC | ??? | 0.350m | ??? |
So total difference not counting PC is 706k. (Counting PC is 356k+PC oblivion sales) Anyway if vgchartz console oblivion numbers are accurate. Skyrim's usa sales would be 2.17mil+ amount of copies PC version of oblivion sold lifetime.
EDIT AGAIN. My addition skills SUCK
