What the hell?
People are saying the PC version sold more????????????????
Looking at history for Mass Effect 1, the PC version accounts for less than 400,000. ME1 was released on 360 on 20 Nov 2007. Up to May 2008 when the PC version released the 360 version had sold 1.8 million copies. ME1 currently sits at 2.13 million. So that means PC accounts for anywhere between 200,000 to 300,000 of ME1. Now also notice that there is no spike on the PC release week here ( week 33 ).

Going by this logic, and exactly the same logic as with Gears Of War 1. It would suggest that over 80% of sales are on the 360. Because 1. Only 300,000 or less have ME1 saves on PC for ME2 and 2. All the previous cross over sales for any big 360/PC game show 360 having 80+% of the sales.
So my guess is 360 ME2 has sold between 1.2 and 1.4 million in the US, and PC will have sold around 50-180,000.
Also these figures are not counting EU sales. Because it came out here today.

Finally a sensible post. PC has alot more problems with piracy, look at MW2, it sold something like 750k on PC, but nearly 5 million copies were downloaded illegally.
