I never so much thought the issue with RPGs on consoles vs. Pcs was so much the gamers themselves as the hardware...a PC just seems to allow greater flexibility in terms of control for these sorts of games. Little things like inventory management, controlling multiple characters etc. always just seemed to me to be smoother with a mouse & keyboard as opposed to a controller. Not a huge issue but when deciding which platform to buy a game for unless I've heard that one version of the game is particularly better that is usually one of the deciding factors.
You can get keyboard support easily on xbox (with USB-connectors). Nobody used it so far...Thats not a problem of the console itself.
For consoles, the keyboard is an OPTIONAL peripheral, and it doesn't come as part of the standard package. So console games cannot require you to go out and buy a keyboard just to play it. That's bad game design.
At the end you ordered an access at your local provider. That argument doesnt count. Beside this, every Xbox (-live)-member possesses a keyboard, even if it is the one for the pad - believe me

Well. Maybe its just not everybody has upgraded their machine Im pleased with my xbox-graphics. Some of the reviews are just lying. There are no big popups of scenery. And I havent noticed the big stuttering some reviews mentions. Its as usual: Better have your own look on a game and dont trust anyone you dont know personally

For a console beeing so old, the PC graphics arent a big hit either
However, lets hope ALL versions are selling good - you can guess why

also RPGs havn't been that popular for years so to see an RPG in the top ten on a system that isnt even favoured by many RPG players is a good sign, to me at least
There's also Oblivion and Oblivion with Guns -each sold (a good deal) more than 4m copies!...so yeah -RPG certainly aren't "dead" or "not so popular anymore".memtz wrote...
Nah, RPGs have always been quite popular. They just don't sell millions of millions of copies. They still make 20% of the market by genre. Can't say the 360 doesn't sell RPGs, see Fable 2 and Mass Effect sales. Mass Effect had a bit higher sales than DA: O on its first month and managed to sell over 2m copies on the 360.

I do find it funny that so many are still buying Wii games though.

DA sales so far are somewhat ...dissapointing. The game certainly did not flop but it's not flying off the shelves either.

Simply because it feels like DA didn't met the expectations...especially after being available on all current platforms (withough the Wii of course).memtz wrote...

But why are the sales disappointing to you? It follows a similar pattern to ME, which sold very well.

...coupled with the expensive marketing campaign it's just..well, dissapointing that DA (currently) sells a little slower than ME did back when it was a 360 exclusive. Or let's put it this way: It did not sell as bad as I feared, but also not as good as I hoped it would.
).We hardly knew anything about the game depth or exactly what kind of rpg it would be(we hardly knew about the classes,spells,tactics,etc).On Neogaf,the game was being bashed daily and most people were convinved that it would either bomb or be a bad game.It took leaked reviews to re-assure those who hadn't lost faith in the game that it would be anywhere near decent. 
It's the Bioware game I was the least interested or hyped about to be sure.

Funny you can pay less than 500€ for a low range PC which will run dragon age. My PC brought 2 years ago as a budget PC can, with only upgrades to memory and the graphics card. Add to that the ability to do other things than playing games and PC's makes themselves far more cost effective than a console.
I would like to see a child writing up their homework on a console. As dragon age should appeal to the "adult" market it could very well reach those "older" generation players who used to tabletop fantasy roleplay who do not own consoles as they have a PC at home for multiple purposes in a family environment.
Finally with the reviews I have seen as well as comments the platform of choice if people could was stated to be PC. This would probably influence a fair amount of people to purchase it on PC rather than a console.

It is a myth now days saying that console gaming is cheaper then PC gaming. With all new console games being $60, and PC games ranging from $20 to 50, with a vast amount being $40.
