I believe Mass Effect 2 should sell more than the original Mass Effect and review scores of ME2 should be on par with ME.

Bioware make rock solid games. Whatever they crank out, I will most likely play. Baldur's Gate 2 was a life stealer. Neverwinter Nights, not so much, but a bad ass game none the less.

Wow. I just looked at ME's first week sales. I also looked at the Wall History and saw a user who absolutely said that ME will NEVER NEVER EVER reach a million sales. I lol'ed my ass off.

Fantastic game, and I can't wait for its ground breaking sequel.

Mass Effect probably was one of Bioware's less profitable games though.

 

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?

 

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.

 

Vgchartz needs to update these sales then. Nice find. 

 

There is nothing to update BG, BG2 and NWN are all pc games. The difference between KotOR's sales is also made up from the pc version.

As for ME pc sales, I remember it showing up in the lower part of the top 10 pc games for the month it was released in, so while im sure it did fine, I doubt it added alot more to the total.

It's been heavily hinted by Bioware that the 360 will get it at least a few months in advance, but there are also rumours that MS traded the rights to publish the first one on PC for console exclusivity on the next 2.



S.T.A.G.E. on 12 December 2008

Mass effect is one of my favorite games on the 360, period!

Do you actually believe PS3 owners will support a WRPG? I don't. It's a great game anyway and I can see why at least a couple PS3 owners would want it.

haha what a bunch of fools. The day a game like ME wont reach a million is the day the industry is dead.

ME2 is probably one of my most anticipated 360 games. Hoping the fix some of the smaller bugs (frame rate drop in particular) so the sequel is even better.

@S.T.A.G.E - I think it would do well on the PS3. Only if it was released in the same general timeframe though.

I don't care if its gonna be the exact same game.. if they iron out those Unreal Engine framerate/texture pop up and loading issues.

I will be a happy piggy!! =D
