| mrstickball said: Madden 07 moved quite a bit of units. It was languishing in the 250k area for months, then in August, moved around 350k units combined with DR. If there was a price drop before Halo, I would assume a few people would start buying if there were games (Mass Effect) that former Xbox owners would like. |
Mass Effect won't move many systems. Despite being one of the greatest and most critically acclaimed RPGs of all time Knights of the Old Republic sold a relatively measly 1.95 million copies over its lifespan. According this site Jade Empire didn't even sell 1 million. Mass Effect will probably sell 2 million at the most, about as many as Call of Duty 2 sold. It's nothing like Halo 3 which will sell at least 10-12 million copies in the next five years and probably has more pre-orders than Mass Effect will sell total.
