I expect this game to sell another 10 million when the remaster on PS4/X1 comes out.
They will be perfect versions.

Uhh, it IS the best-selling rpg of all-time. It surely is not FFVII, which used to be. But that game only sold like 9-10 million copies on PS1. Skyrim has sold 20 million across 3 platforms (Xbox360, PS3 and PC)

an outstanding feat this game is amazing on the level of complete freedom of exploration only that compares is maybe GTA and minecraft in terms of freedom. Only complaints are the lack of any gear or item depth and the skill progression is funky and makes the game way too easy as you can have 1 character mastering everything which is a bore once you get past lvl 50. 9.7/10

Will be above 7mil by the end of the year. It is very possible that it will pass 8mil lifetime. The legs of this game put most other hd games to shame considering this doesn't have any bundles that get counted towards sales.

aye Iveyboi, ever since the original xbox had a really nice port of morrowwind on it the xbox has had a fair bit of Elder scrolls love, ontop of that you have the DLC being released first for the 360.... then a month or 2 later on the pc and now it looks like not at all on the ps3. so yeah good reason to own this on the 360.

@Jonoridge: Well said. For everyone else; there are a number of factors to consider: 1) The gaming landscape has changed. Gaming is much more mainstream then when FF7 was released on the PS1. THis has increased sales of games all around (just look at the sales of the Top IPs this gen versus past generations). 2) Digital sales of FF& has been tremendous; the game is ALWAYS the top selling PSN game (except for when Festival of Blood & Journey was released). With digital sales FF7 is easily over 11M.

Why are some people comparing the sales of this to Final Fantasy VII? Different times and different consoles.
Someone said this is the best selling Adventure game of all time. If I'm right in assuming you mean RPG then check Pokemon.
Also Final Fantasy VII made the majority of it's sales on one platform, the PS1. I was around back then and console gamers generally didn't care for RPGs yet Final Fantasy VII changed this and pushed RPGs into the mainstream. Think it sold over 9 million on the PS1 so that's one platform which is amazing and created a market for RPGs on consoles. Running around boasting that Skyrim sales are going to be or are better than Final Fantasy VII just sounds childish to me. It's great for the RPG genre is they are higher but making a mockery of a RPG that made it possible that RPGs even have a market on consoles is laughable. You'd be playing Skyrim on PC only right now if it weren't for franchises like Final Fantasy setting the standard.

Either way the sales are great on this long may it continue especially with the expansion pack coming out soon.

Bethesda Game Studios has the chance to make this the next call of duty
if they promote elder scrolls as a console game(like gta,cod,,halo etc) it has a big chance of becoming a 10 mil seller xbox only(maybe even ps3)
if they release this year another elder scrolls then it would easely outbest skyrim in terms of sales
next year people would maybe get tired of elder scrolls and thats just the time to realease fallout 4 another blockbuster to be game
etc etc

okay chickenmoshpit, i apologize, either way this will end up selling over 12mil on ps3/360 alone. Which Final Fantasy 7 wouldn't have achieved even if released on the nintendo 64 as well. I made a wrong statement, but regardless fact is this game is more popular than any final fantasy period.

@chickenmoshpit
You do realize the ps2 sold 150mil units while no console will get close to that this gen. Had FF7 been on the xbox and gamecube as well, it wouldn't have sold more than 1mil on either of those platforms... How about this. Xbox360+PS3 combined are less than ps2 sales, and yet skyrim xbox+ps3 is going to pass FF7 very soon.

@Kai Master

lol you're comparing the sales on 3 platforms as opposed to only 1. of course skyrims gonna win. i bet if FF7 is on 3 platforms too it would have easily sold more than at least 16M.

come back to me when skyrim actually manage to reach 9.7M on a single platform.

Millenium the game will sit at around 4.15M after the numbers are updated.And then we have the biggest week of the year,it should be between 4.65-4.75 after that.And then the last week of the year,which should bring some respectable numbers and possibly enough to hit the 5M mark.
