While only 14% of those copies sold were on PC, those figures don’t include digital download numbers, which are sure to be substantial considering the enormous numbers of people playing Skyrim on Steam.

I'm surprised it's as high as 476K units sold on the PC if this doesn't include digital downloads. Does anyone know what percent of PC game sales are digital? Can anyone even make an educated guess? I would have thought it would be several times the number who buy physical copies, but that guess isn't even educated.

I think Skyrim requires Steam, so even people who did buy physical copies will show up on Steam's stats.

I think we can guess that Steam sold well over 300 Thousand units, the other day they posted a record of 231,593 concurrent users on Steam for Skyrim. So i would imagine that they sold around that amount if not more.
