Sales tools can't return quick enough.

48 Hours. Less than 100 posts in a WW Up thread. Sales website.

What is there to say that hasn't already been said. This generation is pretty much set in stone and there hasn't been any high profile games released recently.

Well you could comment on our bet in my sig. 

I had always said that it would sell similarly to God of War 3. So, here's a comparison between the two:

 

Week	God of War 3	Mass Effect 3
1	1,227,099 / 1,227,099	1,380,563 / 1,380,563
2	370,825 / 1,597,924	293,078 / 1,673,641
3	203,910 / 1,801,834	145,264 / 1,818,905
4	152,878 / 1,954,712	101,514 / 1,920,419
5	112,154 / 2,066,866	76,348 / 1,996,767
6	88,270 / 2,155,136	63,918 / 2,060,685

 

Mass Effect 3 is currently tracking only 100k behind God of War 3, which went on to sell 3.5 million in it's first year.

* Note that Mass Effect 3's first week of tracking was ten days before God of War 3's. So it'll have a week more than God of War 3 for it's first year.

It should do 3.2m by the end of the year, unless it has  a pretty lackluster holiday. We'll see. I think it'll be close though.
