Great job ME 2. The game deserves all those sales and more!

They aren't competing with the Wii, naturally.



Well that's quite a misleading thread title!

The chart just shows xbox games but hey lets derail another thread and talk about how awesome the Wii is.

Look at the thread title and thread location and tell me it doesn't imply it outsold Wii games. Wii fans posting is only to be expected.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

While their data is very interesting, I don't think it's the sort of thing you should try correlate to a games sales.

Analyst: Mass Effect 2 outsold everything else 6-to-1

If you bought Mass Effect 2 and you like being on the winning "team" when it comes to game trends, high five. According to DFC Intelligence, BioWare's latest spacefaring adventure sold an estimated 1.1 million copies (of the Xbox 360 version) in January -- six times the sales of any other game. Estimating game sales based on GamerDNA activity, DFC also believes that there was a significant uptick in play of Mass Effect as well, "likely supported by the ability to transfer a save file from a completed Mass Effect game into Mass Effect 2 where several key player decisions in the first game could be carried over into the second game."

The other leading Xbox 360 sellers in DFC's estimate include Darksiders (150,000), Bayonetta (170,000) and Army of Two: The 40th Day (175,000) -- with Dark Void somewhat of a surprise bomb (22,000).

Congratulations Mass Effect 2!

I'm not sure why people jump on others when they mentioned Wii game sales. The part in red clears stated "six times the sales of any other game". If I were a average Joe, I would think ME2 on 360 is the best selling game in January on all platform with 1.1 million sold.

Also, I agree on binary solo's points.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

GO MASS EFFECT!!!

YAY LOVE MY XBOX

Is this Worldwide or NA only ?

If its NA only it has to be under-tracked ?

1.1 million is also an estimation by DFC though. Unless you think DFC is more accurate than VGC, I don't think adjustment for undertrack is necessary right now. Probably wait more sources before we know for sure if VGC undertracks ME2.

based on the charts above, it looks like DFC estimates based off of the GamerDNA audience. VGChartz actually tracks store sales, plus VGChartz also looks at things like GamerDNA (How VGChartz tracked XBL sales). So there really isn't any reason to believe they are more accurate, but as always you should still use them as a source like VGChartz and draw your own conclusions.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
