I don't know what the financial situation is over at EA/Bioware, it could be good or it could be bad, but I'm guessing there's a big budget behind this game and EA will want it to be a major success. Probably needing to sell at least a few million copies. If this is the case, then is October 7 really the best time?

 

When Dragon Age: Inquisition is released, we got Alien: Isolation, LoTR: Shadows of Mordor, and Drive Club being released that same day. If that's not enough we have a colossal hitter coming out the very next week called Batman: Arkham Knight. The other problem to consider is that Bioware has a bit of an uphill battle to climb here. I'm sure some of you loved Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3, but let's be honest, a lot of people didn't. There's gonna be some people out there who don't have a lot of money that are gonna choose between DA:I and Batman: AK.

 

The way I see it, I think DA:I is at a disadvantage here to do very well commercially. If you look at the past few years, DA2 and ME3 released without any real competition. I'm making this thread cause I'm a bit concerned about the success of DA:I. If the game is good then I want it to do well so we can keep getting more games from Bioware.

It is always baffling to read what fans think about game sales and economics.

 

True, much of it is driven by access to incomplete sales figures, but even the conclusions based on those figures is... sketchy at best. Generally they'll say whatever the one interpreting them wants them to say. Which is the way of figures, I suppose.
