A sports game selling more than a RPG? NO WAI.

Next you are going to tell me attractive strippers get more tips than ugly strippers.

Madden can totally kick World of Warcraft's ass.

it's good action for the PC market that's usually dominated by Mystical RPGs vs. Sci Fi Adventure ones that have awesome gameplay+in game shoot outs.

It will probably never out-sell the original, though the figures are still really good!. But what counts more than that is the quality of the game - it will probably get game of the year from alot of critics, then we can look forward to a game of the year edition. That'll boost the sales a bit as well, and i'll wind up with two copies of it. Dammit

I did...it got messed up before...

That's incredibly good considering what's in ME2: A lot of dialog and a ton of potential for bad decisions.

Far from saying those are bad decisions, more saying that they're two big things really turning off your mainstream casual gamer.

ME1 did 1,6M within 6 weeks after launch on one platform. Sure, it was fall release.

this is if you count xbox+ps3+handhelds+wii as one platform...which they are not...so it is exactly the other way around...

Well, its probably Win + Mac + Lin as one PC platform. Sure, Windows is dominant PC platform, but there is usually one dominant console in each country - other than Germany, this one console would outsell PC, in some countries PC would be outsold by more than one console.

What you are saying just doesn't make any sence at all... PC is PC ...afaik the most popular console is Wii in every country... so take around 25 to 30% from each console percentage and then you have around 15% for xbox and 15% for ps... WITHOUT handhelds ...so your statement is not accurate... and if I want to be precise I could count MMO's + gamesites (or whatever they call it) into PC account and it will be a whole different story...

[nutshell43]

The Witcher sold about the same number.



I expect mostly at the $10-20 price point and it took a lot longer to achieve that so ME2 will easily best it.

OTOH, the Witcher was PC only, probably a lot cheaper to make, a lot more hardcore and had a lot less marketing $$$ behind it.



So now that Bioware's attempt to go fully mainstream fizzled out perhaps they're serious when they tell us that ME3's going to reintroduce more depth to the gameplay?

I sure hope so. Won't be surprised if they aren't, though.

Well, 30% of the console market IS actually enough to outsell PC games in most of those countries...

Oh, and lets just forget about PSP, it may be great system, but software sales are almost non-existent in many western countries.

[Remus Artega]

so you are counting xbox and ps3 as one platform? (you do realize that saying this to the public will made you end up dead? ) ...or are you talking about wii? Since this very discussion was just a response to someone saying there are nowhere near as much pc buyers as much as there are x360 ones...which was proven wrong...

Shipped is not sold. Seems like the shooter orientation failed miserably. Shooter fans still buy shooter games.

[Atmosfear3]

Completely different games, at least regarding BFBC2 and ME2.



One is a FPS with multiplayer. One is a singleplayer TPS. Barely even the same genre.

Well the fact that most PC users buy games from steam, we can safely assume that ME 2 sold more than 2 million copies.
..

The source for the numbers was an ea announcement.Why steam sales wouldnt be counted for that??

[Remus Artega]

because steam doesn't provide sales figures...

I thought you were saying the lead console has some 30 percent.

Oh well, back to Sims and casual PC shovelware argument.

Not even to EA?

I said the lead in every country is Wii... read it again... as for the figures I worked for CD Projekt and I know how some of those numbers are taken...

Hello, is that EA accounting?

Listen, this is Gabe Newell I'm just calling to tell you that we owe you $5 for EA games sold during the last quarter.

Yeah, we're kinda disappointed, too. But there's nothing you can do about it, the economy you know.

Well, gotta go, I've got 5 hookers and a 1788 Clos du Griffier waiting. Till next quarter, bye.
