IF, and that's a BIG if, Starfield is essentially Skyrim in space with a full creation kit, then I can see it easily being the biggest release of the year, maybe even decade.
There is just no way. Skyrim after being released a zillion different times on just about every platform is right around 30 million sales.
To put that into perspective in a decade worth of games... Red Dead Redemption sold 50 million, Breath of the Wild sold 30 million being on just one platform, Animal Crossing sold 41.5 million, The Witcher 3 is around 40 million and I believe Cyberpunk just recently passed 20 million. Diablo 4 was mentioned above... Diablo 3 sold 30 million copies, which is just as many as Skyrim.
Which is to say... Bethesda games have a very hardcore fanbase. I know I really like them. But I am not sure they are going to match up to 50 million sales when Skyrim has only hit 30 and has been their most successful title. This is also not to mention when GTA6 comes out in the next two or three years it is going to absolutely obliterate the sales of pretty much all of the games listed above.
