I am surprised it beat Battlefield 3 and I find it a bit hard to believe. At least VGC numbers don't suggest that.

Either way it's fantastic and better than anyone expected.

According to vgchartz, skyrim already beat battlefield 3 in Europe. And according to npd skyrim outsold battlefield 3 for the 2012 year in the United States. So its not hard to believe at all.

Oh. That's nice to hear! But u mean 2011 right? Or do u mean NPD Jan 2012?

o ya opps. I meant 2011.  http://www.computerandvideogames.com/332096/best-selling-us-games-of-2011-revealed/ 

and it did also beat it for the first month of 2012.
