I'm kinda new to this site, what does it mean when someone says ME2 overtracked? And thats a bad thing i take it?

It means that someone belives number shown by VGC is unrealistic and should be reduced.

This feels like someone misheard the conference call.

Right after it came out they put out a press release saying it had shifted 2 million.

Three months later someone hears someone say 1.6 million...

I think this number is realistic considering huge piracy on Others.

This just proves that singleplayer RPGs, no matter how good they are, are a small niche. Final Fantasy XIII will probably be the only RPG to top 4 million on a single platform this gen, and even then only because it has 20 years of brand recognition to lean on and 75% of its sales on one platform.

It sucks.  =(

The legend of Zelda: twilight Princess sold 4.7 million on the wii (it also lost about a million sales to the GC).

As a RPG' lover i would like more sales for the genre. Sad for ME2.

I wouldn't consider any of the 3D Zeldas to be RPGs.

It has a big long story, upgradable equipment and health, NPC's and lots of sidequests.

Zelde might be more a action RPG, but still a RPG.

No FF versus XIII too & besides FFXIII wil top 5 Million on PS3

And dragon quest 9 too & dragon quest 10 as well.

Don't forget all the pokemon's & the future hit Kingdom Hearts 3

If anything single player RPG's have become more popular this gen thanks to Fallout 3 (ewww) & Oblivion (hoorayy) being two breakout hits & making it past 5 Million combined sales. Fallout New Vegas & Elder Scrols V could see similar success.

Great sales, for a great franchise.

I'm glad that there is a duplicate thread, this way I can end both of them

The source you posted to is in no way reliable. Check the source that they link to in that source in the OP - it makes no mention of ME2. Nor does EA's financial briefing. Either get a legitimate source, or ask a mod to close your thread

if someone can listen to their webcast (apparently you need to register to hear it), then we'll know the truth :P

the conference call script linked there skips the "questions" section, when the numbers were supposedly mentioned.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
