The problem with this thread is that SteamSpy tracks owners, not sales. Skyrim, for example, just had a free weekend, making every user that logged in on that weeked an owner until they logged on after that weekend. You can see it from the graph on SteamSpy: It's about 8.6 million just before last weekend, then sharply rises to about 30 million, after which there's a slow decline. Thus the real number of sales for Skyrim is probably somewhere between 8 and 9 million.

That said, this thread's point is still valid. PC games can sell extremely well. If the numbers for Skyrim really are between 8 and 9 million, it has sold about the same as the X360 version - which is more than the PS3 version. That is, the PC version is the platform with the most sales for the game, together with Xbox 360.

And it should be.  Bethesda games belong on PC.  I can't imagine enjoying them even half as much on console.  The mods really make the game...
