Doesn't anyone have faith that since the game is made of pure awesomeness, that it'll have legs?
This is in between Oblivion and Two Worlds in terms of opening. Two Worlds was @ 116k (and has an LTD of 280k in the States), and Oblivion's 260k (which is now near 1.5m in the states alone).
Mass Effect has the advantage of being both well reviewed, and near Christmas. Atleast where I live, the buzz about the game is great. I've already had 2-3 people ask me about the game, and were interested in buying it. It'll have a great Christmas campaign. It's just getting lost in the mix of every other game. Rainbow Six Vegas and Call of Duty 3 were the same way last year - both had very weak openings vs. Gears of War, but both wound up north of 1.4m in the US, and near 2m worldwide.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
