Hmm, there is something odd about this cause if you look at this chart from the same site, a lot of the games are missing on the first chart that the OP posted. This is on page 2 btw
 

And then according to this, Skyrim sold 6 million so its even more weird! This is an older date btw

 

So I think the way we are reading the charts is wrong

My chart was most owned/downloaded games released in 2014.

Your first chart is best selling games sold in 2014 regardless of year of release.

Your second chart is most owned games in general.

Skyrim has sold nearly 6 million copies, 3 million of those copies were in 2014 as that's when it went on sale the most.

Thanks! Those charts were puzzling me and I'm so sleepy this morning that I had no hope to decode them.
