| Soleron said: How many of those sales were at discount prices? Steam had it for as low as $7.50 recently. |
Insignificant amount. The game had 300k concurrent users at launch on steam and retail sales for first week were 600k.
For comparision Halo 3 sold 3.6mil at launch to get its 400k conccurent users at launch.
So even being very generous and assuming skyrim players were twice more likely to play all day than halo players the digital version sold around 1million copies it's first week. Plus it was number one on the steam charts for like a year after it came out. It actually dipped quite low more recently whch is why steam finally gave it a major sale price.
