Who are EA kidding with Mass Effect 2 PS3.

Mass Effect 2  (PS3) will sell a million between now and the time that Mass Effect 3 releases.  It will sell this at full price.  I have spoken.

unfortunately I don't think you will be right d21lewis, I think around 500k-700k will be more accurate at full price, depending on how much they sell first week

I hope it will fail to sell.

That would teach them a lesson to not make time exclusives.

Time exclusives is the most stupid idea in gaming IMO.

I'd argue the opposite.  EA didn't make it exclusive, Bioware did.  If it sells well the message actually send to developers is don't be exclusive.  Good sales would validate EA's decision to make the title multiplatform.

I felt similar in some ways when Bioshock released, and in the case where it's timed and it's the same publisher I can understand the temptation to want to punish their decision.  But ME2 is different.  This is a different publisher who bought the IP and original developer and is bringing it multi-platform as quickly as they could.  I think in this case we should think about rewarding the move rather than punishing.
