It's very easy, the 360 version came out Nov 20 2007. Week 1. The PC version came out MAy 2008. This site puts both 360 and PC sales together. So When the PC version released when the sales were already at 1.8 million it's now today at 2.13 means the PC version has sold anywhere upto 300,000. See?
Edit: the link has since been fixed.

I have a feeling that is wrong.. I believe it sold those extra and got a small boost when it became a platinum hit. The PC version sold like shit though, you have that correct, and it was pirated alot. Mostly just PC gamers who felt they were entitled to a free game, lol.
I wish I could find an article about how bad it sold, but it was a late port so EA must not have cared that much. No figures anouncements or anything. While ME1 for xbox has alot of sales info for it. It's called google, people. Sometimes it's not what you fgind, but what you can't find.

We have no way of knowing this though. It's been available for digital download and had many sales on Steam etc. Also PC games aren't very front heavy so it may have sold better than the 360 version for a few of the later weeks.
One thing we can check and know for sure, it was pirated a lot, lol. I don't think the DRM helped much either. The sequel doen't have the annoying DRM of the original luckily.

Infact ME1 is still selling great on PC. It was 8th best seller last week on Steam (source) due to the ME2 release AND is currently on D2D's top 10 sellers.
