ME: 2.1 million copies

KOTOR: 1.9 million copies

KOTOR 2: 1.2 million copies

Sonic Chronicles: 0.2 million copies

Jade Empire: 0.22(WTF?) million copies(?)

ORLY?

 If your a fan of rpgs and have a capable pc or 360 there is no excuse for you not to buy this game. This game along with fallout 3 are what a true rpg should be. Besides the game sold 2 mil alone on the 360 so it was successful.

Baldur's Gate 1: Atleast 2.6 million copies (including expansion), much smaller budget and still selling

Baldur's Gate 2: Atleast 2.5 million copies (including expansion), much smaller budget and still selling

Neverwinter Nights: Atleast 3 million copies (including expansions), much smaller budget and still selling

Kotor: 3 million copies sold, smaller budget

Jade Empire: meh

Mass Effect: 2.1 million copies, PC sales unknown but I've never seen it appear on any sales chart except on Direct2Drive. Biggest budget ever for Bioware.

Sonic Chronicles: meh

You're still right because Bioware made some smaller games in it's intial days, like MDK and Shattered Steel, and they didn't sell much. But Mass Effect is still one of Bioware's less profitable RPGs, only above JE and SC.

Oh sorry, I went by VGChartz numbers for those games, not whatever source you are using. I'd like to see the source, btw, so I can start going to that website instead of VGChartz, since it must be more reliable.

And according to wikipedia, Baldur's Gate 2's sales figure hasn't been updated in the last 2 years.

To be fair to any possible profitability on ME, they are supposed to be making a trilogy, and they are ( or at least trying) going to have all 3 out this gen. Thus, they'd be reusing work from the first for the next 2, massively reducing budget on those later games.

Mass Effect 2 - will it be on PC as well as X360?

Vgchartz needs to update these sales then. Nice find. 

This and Alan Wake are the only 2 things keeping me from selling my 360 and buying a PS3

So what WAS the actual budget for Mass Effect?  Link anyone?
