, probably more because steamspy doesnt track past price points and this game went on sale a dozen times.
The Steam figures showed 230k concurrent players on the first day of release and after two days, it was reported that the game had sold around 3.5 million retail copies, with 14-15% of those being on PC, making around 500k more, add the full week plus the fact that those were 230k concurrent users playing the game, meaning that there were likely quite a few more who actually bought the title on Steam as well, plus factor in other digital services and it is reasonable to assume that Skyrim on PC crossed that million easily in its first week on the PC.
In early January 2013, about 14 months after Skyrim's release, it was still the most played game on the network and showed 5 million players, at this point the game was still quite expensive and there had been only one or two sales, the biggest discount over this period was 50% (I remember this vividly since I bought the game day one, expecting it to fall slowly in price, it was during the summer sale of 2012).
In other words; you're making the same ridiculous assumptions most others do about PC gaming and it is beyond obvious that a million or more bought it at full price unless you're suggesting it was discounted in its first week and then stayed there.
