Anybody who complains about the numbers must be 14 years old or had a brain injury. It is impossible to be dead on with this and is it even that important?

I find it strange that bioware's games don't sell that well or wrpgs in general for PS3. Still Mass Effect for 360 didn't sell so great itself which sucks but it  has decent legs. Hopefully word of mouth will bring new players to the game.


Its not that strange, they're mostly late ports. No amount of free DLC or expansions will make up for having to wait a year or more longer for the game. People are going to either get the game on PC/360 or not bother to get it at all. It doesn't matter a whole lot to me since I have a gaming PC but it must suck if you only have the PSTh

They may be late, but most people I know I don't own both HD systems so that would lead me to believe that the game is just as a new to them . Of course, it would suffer from the many people who play a lot of games amd already play for PC or 360. Though as I said even the 360 version is a slow burner as its initial sales were decent, but fell off quickly only to maintain a decent weekly sales.

Exactly, people have said this for years, Bioshock, gimped/late Wii ports, and many other games ported later to the PS3 prove this.  The base you put the game on first is your established base, if you wanted the largest base to begin with, make it on all platforms with equal quality to begin with, otherwise the wind goes out of your sails and you're left with a game that has no excitement behind it and trying to sell it to a base that already wrote it off or think its BS they're being charged full price when it's 20 on other bases.

And in ME2's case, you even have to settle for the sequel to a game that you won't be able to play at all on your PS3. The comic hardly makes up for it imo.


Couldn't have said it better myself.  Part of the experience of ME2 is bringing over your ME1 save.

Sony put radar reflective paint on the thing! WTF I know its supposed to do everything, but flying 'under the radar' is hardly a practical gaming application.



Tease.

yah for Goldeneye, was that game undertracked??? did it go on sale??? or did Wii owners finally realize that the best FPS on Wii (IMHO and not counting COD) has arrived. Good for it
