They're a starting point. The Witcher 2 is a similar kind of game and has similar distribution methods. That sold 25% digitally to 75% retail (PC only). If the same thing happened with Skyrim then just add another 1/3rd to the retail figures to get a rough total. It's not enough to change the fact that X360 players are buy far the ones most interested in buying the game, and even the PS3 crowd, more traditionally into jRPGs than western RPGs, are more willing to buy the game. Despite the PC version being the cheapest one by far.
If other PC gamers are anything like me with respect to Bethesda produced games they'll be waiting for 2-5 patches before buying. I don't remember any Bethesda game that was fit to play on the PC at release, always some game breaking bug somewhere causing havoc. That's been my perspective of their games since Morrowind III and it's yet to be proven wrong. I think that is something worth taking into account with regards to PC sales figures, PC gamers are far more demanding.
I'll definitely buy Skyrim, but it's unlikely to be in 2011.
I've had the opposite experience ExHail actually - Morrowind was the first Elder Scrolls game that actually was very playable out of the box - the previous games were really buggy by comparison. I 'finished' both Morrowind and Oblivion relatively soon after release without problem. I think I've always been quite lucky with computer configuration however, I tend to have very few compatibility issues compared to other people/builds.
