The game didn't sell amazingly well, although certainly not badly, and Bioware got bought by EA. I hate to say this, but this is the second time today that I agree with Pachter.

1 million sold in less than 3 weeks isn't amazing for a western RPG Brand New IP?

Oh ...

We can't really say for sure if MS is talking about sold to stores or customers here, not to mention how much they're conveniently rounding up. Even if it started ok, 360 games are extremely top heavy and it's the holidays, so sales will probably fall before it reaches 2M. 

That being said, it looks like VGC numbers have been adjusted since I last saw them, and the game is doing a lot better than I thought. Definitely a commercial success.
