Seriously, if PS3 owners don't buy ME2, they don't even deserve ME3 simultaneous or at all.  That's not a fanboy thing, its a "THIS SHOULD BE A TOP 5 ALL TIME SALES PS3 GAME" thing.  

Oh, if you couldn't tell, I'm a fan of the series ...


1.5 M is reasonable sales for a PS3 port. Those are the sales I expect.


I'm going to go ahead and break it to you that it's not going to get anywhere near that imo.

I'm going with 1.33m LTD expectations for PS3.  Oblivion seems like it was in the exact same situation with a year old port and the PS3 was able to sell .58 of what the 360 did which would put ME2 at 1.33m if it sold similarly.


Dragon Age has barely made it over a million, and you expect a port of a year old game to beat it? Not really sure why.

It's nowhere on the preorder charts at all. I think it'll perform quite similarly to BioShock. Maybe not that bad, but I'll be shocked if it breaks a million.


I don't see how Dragon Age really makes sense as a comparison, just because one game in the same genre can only sell so much doesn't doom all other games to similar or below.  It only sold 1.6m on 360 so does that mean all WRPGs are doomed to only do that much on 360?  obviously not.

I think there are more similarities between this situation and that of Oblivion then there are of this and Bioshock. 

Bioshock came with very little new, while Oblivion came with some DLC for free similar to ME2 and the obvious one that Oblivion and ME2 are in the same genre. 

On the Preorders thing, that only shows that it has less than 25,000 preorders a month from release and Oblivion only sold 57,000 it's first week in NA and went on to sell 2m so I don't think it's difinitive that it'll sell less than a million because it isn't showing up on the preorder charts.
