A lot of my friends bought just because they were fascinated with the prospect of a huge open world. Also, plenty of games see excellent legs after the next gen starts. For example, GTA: San Andreas, GT4, ect. But then again, Skyrim is an RPG like you said. I think it's going to push the RPG genre to new boundaries in terms of sales. |
That last bit is very possible. Counting the multiplat sales for the game, it's sitting comfortably at just over 12 million, which is the highest-selling non-handheld RPG ever made, including FF7 and ignoring however many digital sales Skyrim has had.
By the end of its run, Skyrim could end up moving as many units as a low-tier mainline Pokemon game, which is absolutely horrifying.
