According to Steam’s tracker, Skyrim’s rocketed to 231,593 players (as of writing) during its first 24 hours. For reference, Modern Warfare 3′s currently in distant second at 78,161. That’s sort of, you know, insane. It’s probably also a record number of people concurrently falling to their knees, gazing up into the falling rain, and cursing a single interface designer’s name.

Stats from Steam's most recent polling period are even better: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

Wowza. That's some serious representation right there.

Does MW3 require you to use Steam? Because that might have something to do with it

Yeah, it does require Steam.

That's actually a good thing for PC MW3 players, because they got their dedicated servers back.

Just goes to show how special Bethesda is and how they're always there for fans and customers.
