I can't fathom why people aren't champing at the bit to pay full price for a year late port when the 360 and PC versions are available for a song. I guess PS3 owners must hate good games or something, because they clearly love being ripped off (that's why they own PS3s, lulz!).

It's okay to have opinions and people are certainly entitled but those thinking that ME2 was overhyped--in my opinion, ME2 tops each and every PS3 exclusive (360 exclusives, too) to claim the top spot this generation.  I don't think it's overhyped at all.  Those that are interested and play through it are likely to agree.  Those who come in looking to hate it have my pity. With the money to buy any game on the market, a backlog of unfinished games as long as my arm, and every console on the market (this gen) at my disposal, I'm playing ME2 again.  That's how good I think this game is.

I'm hoping people look past the fact that it's a year old and pick up this game.  It would be a shame if they didn't.

I bought the game for PS3 and am a few hours in, and honestly don't see what all the fuss was about. It seems kind of ridiculous and repetitive already, but i'll force myself to keep playing it since everyone says it's so great. The Illusive man, what a dumb corny name! I guess he's really....illusive.  Shepard is supposed to be some super hero, but your not, really, just an average soldier dude that everyone in the game acts as if is jesus. Collect minerals to buy gas. Clear out bad guys on planets. Can't wait...

This is why I think people need to play the first one to fully enjoy the second. Shepard is neither super-hero or your average soldier. The first game made a big deal of Shepard being a top commander and becomming the first human Spectre and that obviously hasn't translated well in the comic. There's a reason he's considerred such a celebrity among humans.

And if you think Mass Effect 2 is repetitive I dread to hear what you think of Assassins Creed.

Uncharted 2

88K is not bad for a game already released on X360 and PC

well, you have to think in this way. ME2 was very successful and had very high review scores when it first came out on PC/360. Anyone who is really interested in this game should have already played it on PC or 360. I, for one, played the game on PC. It was a great game, I don't think any serious gamer that is remotely interested in this genre can resist it for a whole year just waiting for the PS3 version. Let alone the PS3 version was not announced till late last year.

So will I buy this game on PS3 again? Maybe.. the comic section is interesting and i can play with different startup choices in less than 15 minutes. But on full price? never.

So who are those 100K copies sold to? I believe they are new PS3 owners, who bought their first HD consoles last year and are interested in shooter RPG genre, PLUS hard-core ME2 fans who are willing to pay the full price to re-experience the game with upgraded graphics :)

So, nothing to worry about ME2 sales. it's expected. The fact that stores ordered such small number of copies at launch  tells how much sales the industry really expected.

PS3 can't sell WRPGs

Seriously though... I think it could hit 1 million life time. Late ports are never known for big openings.
