Mass Effect 3 has been designed to bomb, and it will do so in a glorious, spectacular fashion.

My bet is 350,000 LTD


Those types of numbers were fine for the Wii back in the day. Just to maybe break even. But that is not going to cut it this gen.

If Ubisoft is to be beleived and it takes less than $1.3 million to port to the Wii U, 350,000 will be fine.

350,000 x $20 (publisher cut of retail price) = $7 million.

Bomb is more about expectation than profit. Doubtlessly Animal Crossing: City Folk turned a profit for Nintendo, equally doubtlessly it was also a bomb in their eyes.

Although perhaps EA has super-low expectations for ME3.


IF EA has anything higher than "super-low" expectations for ME3, then they need to immediately fire whoever is in charge of their expectations.

SW:TOR - It's going to rival WoW!

MoH:W - But our internal testing said the game was GREAT!

 

EA needs to open its eyes to the real industry desires and trends.
