About 90 hours on PS3. Game became unplayable. Then bought the 360 version which i played for another 130 hours. After that played the PC version for 25 more hours. Bought the PS4 version last week and already put in 12 hours. Once the XBO digital version goes on sale i'll buy that too.
I spent 115 hours on ps3 and platinumed it. First/only game ever platinumed.
And... playing nonstop since release, I grew to hate going in ANY cities due to the PS3 stutter/constant-caching problem. (sigh)
Now I think about buying it for PS4 (my PC was diagnosed as Low settings by it's self-checker on the upgrade/remaster) but I don't know if I just have fond memories, or if I can stomach it all over again.
Side note, finished it before the first DLC, and I remember Dawnguard I think being first, and it being nothing really except crossbows and horse armor or something.
I heard the others were good, but... I was gone by then. $30 dollar trade-in.

Play on 360 for however long it takes to mess around a bit and do all the guilds. Built my first PC after that....bought it on Steam. Never played it due to time and wanting to really get into it.
I've been waiting for SE since it was announced and since I'm too busy for much video games right now I have a chance to wait until mods have really transitioned to the new version.
I have about 90 hours on PC in one play through of Oblivion which doesn't count the two times I played on 360. So I'm expecting a solid 80+

Over 50 on the 360...which was about 45 more than it deserved.

23 hours. Played through it once and that was enough.

Looks like 96 hours, 2 hours in the SE. On PC.
This is one of the only games where I think this argument is totally valid. Whenever I'd start up the game I first needed to adjust to the horrible framerate.
I heard this was only the case for older save files. If you started a new game with all patches installed the game would run a lot better.
Total of somewhere around 300 hours or so currently. Got it on PS3 back when it first released, probably put 100-150 hours in there, busted version and all. Then another 100 on PC when I initially picked it up there. Then another 50 or so on another play through (modded) on PC a couple years later. Now I am replaying with my wife on remastered version on PC, prob have around 10 hours or so into it, and our intention is to finish as much of the game as possible including all DLC. So tack on another ~100 hours to the total after that, maybe more?.
I've most likely put more hours into Skyrim than any other game in my entire gaming history. Second most would probably be streets of rage 2 (original and remake) or the 16-bit sonic franchise, as I've played/replayed those games an absolutely disgusting amount of times over the past 20-25 years.

Steam says 230 hours original, 21 (currently) on SE.
Think I managed to actually do nearly every thing in the main game by dividing it up among specialized characters, so the SE is letting me mostly focus on new content from mods and stuff. Also exploring Solstheim more thoroughly. Good fun.
One of these days I'll do everything in Morrowind... I have more hours poured into that on Steam and that's deeefinitely not the only version I've played.
It said this about mine too. I called it a liar and bumped it up and it plays smooth as (Bethesda brand) silk just the same. Self-checker needs to check itself.

I think over half of that has to be just me messing with mods.

About 300 in the vanilla version on PC back when it was released. I rinsed the hell out of it and thoroughly enjoyed it but haven't played it for years. I imagine there's some spectacular mods available now.

About 90 on the PS3 before the save file got too untenable to enjoy anymore
At least 250 on PC

Around 120 on the Xbox 360.
Skyrim breaks down like this for me:
That is to say, for 80% of the time I played this game I thought it was brilliant and one of the best games I'd ever played... Then for about another 10% the veneer wore off. Then by the time I hit hour 120 I was thoroughly done with the game and started having a negative opinion of it.
For me, that's a good thing. It means I can sink about 100 hours into the game and think it's one of the best games I've played. There aren't many games that do that for me.
Skyrim breaks down like this for me:
- Hours 0-5: Ok... kinda lame... but cool world
- Hours 6-25: Nice, huge world, pretty cool, some interesting stories here
- Hours 26-50: This is one of the best games I've ever played... must... get ... more.. powerful
- Hours 51-80: Amazing, definitely one of my favorite games, but...
- Hours 81-100: Eh, Skyrim is a little repetitive...
- Hours 101-119: Skyrim is derivative fetch-quest and is a major step back for Bethesda

It was less than a frame per second at times, so I could certainly play it if I had patience (and a distinct masochist tendencies). The "patched new game" was my understanding as well, but after having dropped 70 hours into the game I had no desire to abandon my character.
My opinion on Bethesda is reasonably well known by now. I wasn't very happy.

~150 on Xbox 360 maybe? I don't remember. Another 16 in the remaster so far.

104 hours on PC and then the law of diminishing returns had well and truly set in.
I still had quite a lot of the main story to complete but realised I didn't just didn't care.

Around 100. Enjoyed it and had my fill of it, no desire whatsoever to buy the SE. I moved onto Fallout 4.

183 according to Steam. That was with 3 starts (if not more) and having to drop the game several times thanks to mods making the game crash. So I only actually finished the game once.
Strangely, though, I don't actually like the game all that much, and didn't bother with trying Dawnguard.

I have put in 1296 Hours on the PC version, 34 hours on the PC SE Version and a few Hundred more (I think) on the 360 Version.

Around 400 hours, I have a little desire to play the SE, but then I recall how boring, repetitive and long the dungeons are.

Earlier this year I delved back into the series and have sunk a sinkhole of hours into it, starting with Skyrim. Had trouble getting into it back in the day, but after pretending it was the only game I could ever play, I learned to love it...and the damn thing grew on me like a pimple on a star-crossed middle schooler.
So far got about 400 hours or so total, I think.

Only 90, I was waiting for the last piece of DLC to drop when my SSD died along with my save file and I never went back.
