how many units will Skyrim sell the first week? : V

» Sat Oct 08, 2011 6:18 pm

ok so fallout 3 sold around 4.7 million units the first week, a total value of around 300 million dollars

and is therefor the most sold game bethesda has ever made so far. Will skyrim crush this record if we are too look att all the hype and marketing for clues?

First week, 6 million, first month, 10 million.

As the guy above me said around 6 million seems pretty accurate which should pay for the cost of production

so around 400 million dollars earned in one week?, that will cover more than production, and ensure future fallout and elder scrolls games for us fans :tes:

The 360 will sell very fast, my concern is the PC. I'd like the PC to sell 1 million in the first month.

Bethesda is really good at marketing their games, I'm sure this will sell more than Fallout 3, New Vegas and Oblivion combined.

Fallout 3 didn't sell 4.7 million units the first week. It shipped 4.7 miilion units to retailers the first week.

Nope. 4.7 million shipped in first day, all of them sold in one week.

6 million is a good estimate, although expect the PC Version to only sell 200,000-250,000 out of that 6 million.

At http://www.vgchartz.com/preorders.php, They show Skyrim Pre-orders in America alone 579,891 for the Xbox 360

Good question. Problem is, the sales totals may be taken from the retail stores buying them, as well as end users. Not sure how they track that. When Oblivion came out, the initial reaction was positive and I think that generated a lot more sales right out of the gate. I expect that same initial reaction to Skyrim. If it has problems, they wont' be discovered until folks have been playing it for awhile. So you couple a positive ground swell and the marketing...I think 6 million copies in the first week would be a good target.

I bet it will sell 10 milions units.

» Sun Oct 09, 2011 2:04 am

10 in total.

6 million. Fallout 4 will have 15 million units. :fallout:

I hope the price won't overcome more then 50$

It'll be sixty bucks like all new AAA games.

Hardly. Of the 4.7 million first week sales of FO3, 25% were PC so that's about 1.2 million. Of the 6-7 million first week sales for Skyrim anywhere from 1.8 to 2.4 million will be PC.

Well MW3... And BF3.

hehe, yeah, its still quite unique that an rpg is taking the third place on the list though

Based off preorder numbers one, Skyrim is poised to sell more in its launch weeks then Oblivion and Fallout 3 did combined in there first month!

Lol, FO:NV Was made by Obsidian and All the Combined will be much more than Skyrims sales

around 5 millions...

around 5 millions...

hmm, the lowest guess so far, I think it will sell allot more, the preorders on Xbox 360 alone in america is closing in on 600.000. And the ps3 is around 200.000 so 800.000 preordered on consoles and I have no idea about the amount of pc units preordered in america. But I will take a guess about 300.000 units. So over a million units in america alone only counting preordered copies. Imagen worldwide

OVER 9000!!!
