The fact is, it's a port, and PS3 owners (not to insult) are too arrogent to realize this is probably the best game ever made this gen.

I completely disagree. I think arrogance has very little to do with it (sure it's part of some people's thinking, but it by no means accounts for much of the differnce in sales). The demographic preferences are just different. WRPGs of any stripe don't sell anywhere near as well on PS3, late port or no.

Mass Effect 2 is as much of an RPG as Dead Space 2 and that game sold close to 1 million on PS3. The Elder Scrolls 4 which was a port, sold 2.20 million, but I think that sold well because PS3 before 2009 really lacked software. Dragon Age 1 sold 1.30 million, and ME2 is much much better then all of those.

Lol, hell no! ME2 is not "much much better" than Oblivion. I prefer Oblivion to it.

Also the main reason why it hasn't sold very much is that it's the second game in a heavily story reliant series and the first game in said series to release on the ps3...it was a big mistake to not release ME1 first from the beginning on the PS3.

That 1 game is debatable, but still Oblivion sold 2.20 million, and it was a port, where Mass Effect 2 is a remake, using the new engine.

I think it was a mistake releasing ME2 on PS3 altogether, this should have stayed exclusive, but EA got publishing rights over Microsoft and made it a shooter franchise.

Also I still say arrogence when I read comments like this:

Couldn't care less about the ME series, that's why. Demon's Souls, Valkyrie Chronicles and Fallout 3 (when it isn't glitching or crashing) are fine for my RPG needs on PS3.

Mass Effect 2 is just so much better then those RPG's, you can't just ignore it. Same with Lost Odyssey and other RPG's. If Valkyria Chronciles went multiconsole, I'd definatly buy it for my 360 (since my PS3 is bust, and to support JRPG's on western consoles).
