A few games on the market that have the same idea of the open world part to the game is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and another game with the big open world aspect is S.T.A.L.K.E.R Series. The STALKER series sold over 3 million units (2011) Skyrim sold over 20 million units world wide Games that are well known using RPG is Dark Souls and Fallout Series. 12 April 2013 2.3 million units sold worldwide for Dark souls. 23 June 2012 5 million copies sold worldwide for Fallout 3 New Vegas.
