Forums - Microsoft - What happened to Mass Effect 2?

p.s.
I love all the 'bring it to PS3' to boost sales replies hahaha. that's like saying bring Resistance 2 to 360 to boost sales. no chance that will ever happen but keep saying it and maybe it... still won't happen.

Its done fine, arleady outsold Dragon Age Origins (which deserves more sales)

It will easily reach ME numbers



It's a very hyped, game from an established franchise aimed at the kind of gamers who visit gaming websites and plan their purchases ahead of time.

Why should you be surprised that it has no legs?

If it makes you feel any better, it's still doing much better than the first on aligned launches basis, total sales

1.58 million to 1.23



Im pretty dissapointed in the drop in sales also......Hopefully more 360 owners give this great game a chance



The other thing to realize is the fact that the first one dropped in price after around 6 months on the market. There are people like myself waiting for the first price drop to bite. This isn't a game that is going to dry up and be impossible to find. There has been a lot of great titles released in the first quarter.

Oh.

Just another case of people not knowing whats good for them. We have the highest rated RPG ever on metacritic/gamerankings and no one takes notice. Maybe they'll make a GOTY edition or slap some stickers on it to get more attention.



It's just that simple.

ME2 first week outsold FFXIII (Multi System) in the first week by a nice amount (NA/Europe). Nothing happened



Re sales are probably holding the game back. I recently resold my copy for 60 percent of what I paid for it !

Thats one sale that will never register.



They released it too close to blockbuster exclusives like Mag, Heavy Rain, and God of War 3

Its a great game tho and will eventually surpass Mass Effect 1



“Absolutely, we can do much more with it. I don’t know if we are even close to 50 percent of PlayStation 3’s power at this point,” said Asmussen about God of War 3.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Its a sequel and they're generally more frontloaded. Plus it wasn't released during the Christmas holidays.
