Piracy and not releasing during a holiday season probably hurt some sales.

When i see mediocre New IP RPG's like Dragon Age Origins outselling it I get angry. (PS3 xbox combined numbers for dragon age)

Would being multiplat have helped its sales?

What exactly are your expectations for Mass Effect 2?  The original, according to VGChartz sold a bit over 2 million.  How much more are you expecting sales on the 360 to be of the sequel?

And, in response to your shot at Dragon Age Origins, WHY do you think a single platform RPG by Bioware is supposed to sell out an RPG done by them for TWO platforms that are approaching equal in installed base?
