I'm accusing you of it because it's quite obvious due to your stupidly high expectations of it and how you think they should abandon the console of part 3 despite all your "championing"... It's a year late port of the 2nd game in a story driven trilogy, on a console that doesn't have the 1st game. What did you expect it to do? Enlighten me.

A dismissal of a series because it's tied to Xbox? Brand don't come into things like this outside of the Internet. I can get you a number of games pretty easily that sold amazingly well on the PS2, yet sold better on 360 than PS3 (Or didn't even appear on PS3).

I don't get why it's so hard to understand. It's getting the sales it deserves. Expecting it to match or even come close to the 360 numbers for the game is pure stupidity. I know it sounds rude... But it's  true. Especially when our own ME2 360 numbers are vastly overtracked, making the ratio even more in favour of the 360 version.

Stop complaining when there is nothing to complain about. It's sold about 150k in 2 Weeks of being on sale. It's a late port. It's the 2nd game in a story driven trilogy. It's priced WAY higher than the 360 version. It's sales are fine.

Never said I expected it would sell anywhere near as much as the 360 version (why are you so convinced it is overtracked?)  I hoped it would sell around a million or maybe a little over (think there was even a thread about that before).

I acknowledged your Bioshock example, but why not acknowledge the RE4 example?  It is not as if there isn't precedent for what I was hoping for.  And the reality that ME3 is coming day and date, wouldn't that make more want to play this to prep for it?

Also, I think you took my comments about ME3 on PS3 a little too literally.  It was a response to this tepid reception and nothing more.  I got treated like a PS3 fanboy in a recent thread where I was complimenting how GT5 sales helped Sony's NPS to have a better than expected quarter.  Can't win here sometimes.

Anyway, a ton of PS3 owners that haven't played ME2 are really missing something special.  That's how I feel strongly.

Speaking as a ps3 only owner who played the demo, it doesn't seem that good and I still have a huge backlog (mostly exclusives) to get through, the game just seems to repetitive and I don't like the interface as much as I did with dragon age, and I even have issues with how slow paced and how little control I had over that
