Zenimax has announced that 10 million copies of Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim have been shipped out to retailers since release, which represents $650 million in potential sales so far. Keep in mind that those copies are shipped, not actuallysold, but sales for the title are doing well so far, and as all of those gift cards appear in stockings and under the tree this coming holiday, odds are that quite a few more of these copies will be exchanged for money going forward.

Zenimax also reports that the critically acclaimed title has outsold all other PC games by a factor of three to one in the month since its release, and currently holds the title for the fastest-selling game in Steam's history. Star Wars: The Old Republic is set to officially arrive next week, so it's hard to see Skyrimholding up that ratio for much longer, on the PC platform front anyway.

Still, infinity times ten million equals a hell of a lot of dragons. Congrats to Bethesda and Zenimax on all of the success -- we'd say that as great as the game is, it's well deserved.
