Skyrim becomes 'Fastest Selling Title in Steam’s History'
It should come as no surprise that Skyrim would be a popular game for the PC platform. However not many people would have ever guessed it would surpass Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in PC sales. On Thursday that became a fact as Jason Holtman, Director of Business Development at Valve Corporation confirmed to IndustryGamers in a candid interview. He is quoted as saying,

"Skyrim is the fastest selling title in Steam's history," said Jason Holtman, Director of Business Development at Valve Corporation. "Bethesda's commitment to and understanding of the PC as a gaming platform shows in the great review scores, spectacular launch, and continued high player numbers that Skyrim has received. We are delighted that Bethesda chose to use Steamworks to support Skyrim both at retail and digitally."Considering the Call of Duty franchise has been a SteamWorks distributed game for the PC since Modern Warfare 2, it says a lot for Skyrim's popularity on the platform. As a matter of fact, one could say Call of Duty was on its way to being the best selling game ever on the PC......until it took an arrow to the knee.

...and BF3 will be still going strong long after MW4 has come and gone.I have seen it running maxed out on a less than stellar PC and have got to say the game itself seemed f-ing brilliant.
Wasn't all too pleased with the interface though....a big put off for me infact.
I am very busy with BF3 and Pro Evo Socccer 2012 for the time being but will get around to Skyrim in due course once it has been patched up a bit and who knows...maybe the PC may even be given its own interface.
I bet shit more people would buy it if Skyrim could be had for $35.
For Skyrim to out do Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 when MW3 was available for $35 haha.
Makes my day..
But so little done, and so much to do!
I'm going to miss Xmas this year, because I'd be in Skyrim.
(Now imagine a mod which makes Skyrim houses all decorated for a real White Christmas unlike my rainy windy ones IRL, and there'd be a New Year's countdown, parties and everything... :eek:)
