Skyrim seems to be breaking records on Steam. Has any other game - Valve game, Call of Duty game, or anything else - done what Skyrim seems to be doing on Steam?

I created a graph using Steamgraph, and added some commentary, just to provide some more context for how huge this number is.

Skyrim is a Steamworks game, so this includes all retail purchasers too. The same holds true for the last 3 Call of Duty games as well.
It was already above 100k concurrent users last night, midnight on a weekday, and now it's at 196,000 concurrent players smack-dab in the middle of a Friday. Yeah it's a holiday for some, but I didn't think it's a holiday for most people. I can't imaging what it'll reach over the weekend
It's not the 1-2 million concurrent players of a Call of Duty game on 360, of course, but nothing else is (even on 360). This is still higher than any other game I've ever seen on Steam.
It's matching if not exceeding the concurrent numbers that Battlefield 3 did on PC and 360 at release according to http://bf3stats.com/
Holy crap!
