I'm unsure as to how accurate these are, but I'll leave them for you to comment on. Do we have any Idea if these are average for a supposed AAA title? these figures appear to be world wide, but i'll try to include the links so you can see the break down between regions. 

I thought I would include this little blurb from gamespot regarding EA's fiscal losses in 2009/10, do you think it had influence on the short development time for DA 2?

DA 2 (For the First Week) (NB: don't know if this contains direct to download)
X360- 392,508 http://gamrreview.vg.../dragon-age-ii/
PC- 143,830 http://gamrreview.vg.../dragon-age-ii/
PS3- 163,410 http://gamrreview.vg.../dragon-age-ii/

DA Origins (For the First Week)  (NB: this does not include Awakenings)(NB: don't know if this includes the ultimated edition sales/ direct to download)

X360- 335,941( Total 10 week sales- 1,413,978/ Total Lifetime sales- 2,071,483) http://gamrreview.vg...on-age-origins/

PC- I have no figures for the PC, however based on the link below Dragon Age Origins shipped 3.2 between November 2009- Feb 2010 across all platforms so based on the 10 week sales figures from the other platforms the PC sales figures were approximately1.3 million, again sorry I don't have any conclusive figures based on Total Lifetime sales

PS3- 155,660 ( Total 10 week sales-734,225 / Total Lifetime sales- 1,181,919 )

So considering the number of PC sales is it wise to alienate a large demogaraphic , even on the 360 and PS3 the reception appears to be mixed. Is Mr. Laidlaw's interview on 1up, i think, talking about the need to avoid the stagnation of the RPG genre and its subsequent death, really valid as it appears from some sales figure that niche market appears to be alive and kicking.

Please don't resurrect old threads. We already have a thread discussing DA2 sales and what it means or doesn't mean. Please take your discussion there. Thank you.

End of line.
