Don't waste your time getting hung up on "canon", it's been proven that the whole concept is meaningless time and time again. If Star Wars fans cared so much about canon (other than a small percentage of anal retentive...oops, not supposed to say that anymore...OCD fans) then a lot of writers of non-canon fiction would have a lot thinner wallets these days.

In two days, Skyrim sold 3.4 million copies. In three months, TES:O had 770,000 players. By comparison, that is a resounding whimper, according to Forbes.

Zenimax can fire off all its canons in every direction but in the end they know it's what goes in their wallets that matters, and TES:O is putting far less in there than Oblivion or Skyrim did, despite the single player games not haivng the subscription fee to continue playing.

Hell I bet Fallout Shelter is making them more money than TES:O.
