Because most pepole who buy WRPGs in the west don't do so because of the story and different experiences that they can have, but because statistics are cool, and ME2 lost a lot of the min/max that was in the first.

no WRPG's like KOTOR sold because of their story.

WRPG's like oblivion for their vast array of innovative content like the Dark Brotherhood

So ME2 didn't sell well because it didn't have statstics? ROFL!

@OP

I don't know, like others said its the mystery of the generation in terms of sales.

I'm pretty sure that if you took KotOR and stripped everything SW related from it, it wouldn't have sold half of what it did.

Innovative content? I won't call it innovative, but you're right, pepole bought Oblivion because they had a lot of different sidequests and a lot of things to do, ways to upgrade the character etc, that's still different from the focus of ME2.

But why would you do that? Thats what KOTOR is, it even had a better story than Episode 2.

So what was ME2's focus then? I haven't played it so I don't know.
