Dragon Age sales are very hard to predict.

I wonder if it can do 1.5 million on the X360 and 1 million on PS3 lifetime?
(and well over 1 million on PC of course)

I think it will be quite far away from Oblivion and Fallout 3 sales though (3 million lifetime on X360 alone).


true, this game could do exceptionally well, but it could also fall flat.   Throw in the fact that Borderlands comes out the exact same day and you have split the consumers on 2 very big games.  I think your estimates are probably good.  Although, a lot really depends on how well EA promotes this game when it comes out.  Right now, it isn't looking too great.


Whats Borderlands again? I think not thats a big game. Was it  a RPGish shooter in cyberpunk setting? Or Oil war shooter?

On second thought, 1.5 mill on X360 and 1 mill PS3 would be amazing, and too much to expect I guess. This game is far from same hype as Mass Effect dont u think?

Maybe it will sell more like Dead Space (another genre, but similar marketing and both EA) who sold 800,000 on X360 and 600k PS3 (and maybe will finish 1 mill + 0.7 mill if numbers updated).

I really would like to know the production costs of a game like Dragon Age!

yeah, borderlands is an RPGish shooter game.  It's being made by gearbox and is suppose to have  over a million different guns in the game.  (guns = loot like a dungeon crawler).  Suppose to be pretty good and gearbox is a fairly prestigous developer. 

It could sell like dead space, but I think Bioware has a big enough following that it should sell past it.  I think your original guesstimate is right.  However, it really depends on how much EA pushes it like I've said.  considering how much they paid for Bioware... they better push it. :)
