Mass Effect 2 has won over 45 2010 Game of the Year awards.  It was pretty much sweeped every major Reader's Choice award out there for 2010 GotY.

So how do PS3 owners in the Americas and Europe that weren't able to play before respond to getting a long awaited enhanced version of this modern day classic on their console?

No.  You're not grateful.  Bioware should go full on Soup Nazi on you and just cancel the PS3 version of ME3.  It's just not worth it.

This is easy.

I just want to point you towards BioShock. A non-Story driven game, multiple GotY Awards for the Year it released. Etc.

Week 1/Lifetime on the 360 - 564k/2.64M
Week 1/Lifetime on the PS3 - 65k/800k

Okay. They should have totally kept BioShock 2 as a 360 Exclusive. It's pointless putting it on the PS3! It will just flop, it's just not worth it! Oh wait...

Week 1/LTD on the 360 - 559k/1.7M
Week 1/LTD on the PS3 - 270k/950k

I'm sure 2K Games are absolutely gutted about how the PS3 versions Performed. That's why Bioshock Infinite isn't on the PS3 at all. Oh wait again...

I might aswell also add that the ratio the the 360 version has outsold the PS3 version is way off, as ME2 on the 360 is hugely overtracked here. Hugely.


..... I knew someone was going to pull that example out, lol.

I see your point.  For the record, I'm not calling for cancelling the PS3 version of ME3.  If you check my post history here, from the moment it was announced for the PS3 I have been championing PS3 owners that haven't had a chance to play it to feel really privileged to have this gem of a game come there way.

I in no way, though, expected it to sell THAT bad WORLDWIDE.  Those are like Japanese numbers for a western game launch or something.  It's just disappointing to me.

Only possible redeeming viewpoint for me would be if this is more of a sign that the majority of PS3 owners in Americas and EMEAA also game on the 360 and PC and played it already.  If so (which I doubt), that still doesn't bode well for ME3 sales on the PS3.
