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.
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 |
Your numbers are hard to follow but if the quote "five-fold increase over Oblivion's first month" is true it means Skyrim is heavily overtracked by VGC as VGC has Nov at 2.7 million for X360, PS3, PC while 5 x 356K=1.8 million according to NPD.
(I'm not sure if the 356K for Oblivion's first month USA sales means X360 or X360+PC though. If it's 356K only for X360 Oblivion first month it means Skyrim is still overtracked as VGC has Skyrim X360+PS3 at 2.3 million)
