Those first two weeks in EU are hilarious, maybe there were some serious shortages?

I bought my copy on Boxing day in the sales, £15 for a brand new copy with the 2 DLC codes is a bargain, considering it was £40 usually...

I haven't even used the codes either, maybe I should sell 'em off, haha.

wish the sales were higher however, it will definitely hit 1 million maybe more(1.5) with the constant dlc and expansions, and of course the all powerful sequal boost.

@marshmellowman it was outsold on the 360 because there has been alittle over 22 million 360's sold in America to just over 13 million ps3's. EU. is about fifty fifty in console sales

Statix posted 09/03/2010, 08:13
750k doesn't seem that bad, considering it's a WRPG that looks somewhat generic at first glance. The Xbox audience would naturally be more receptive to this type of game.

@kuddles Well Mass Effect did abyssmally but Fallout 3 pulled some respectable numbers. Almost a 10% attach ratio for 360 at the time. And the 360 version probably did better in Japan because of the DLC.

Reason why it sold so poorly on PS3

NO MASS EFFECT

kuddles posted 01/02/2010, 01:04
Yes, the Japanese hate WRPGs more than they hate FPS titles. Look at sales for Fallout 3 or Mass Effect for reference. So, it probably will come out but it's not a top priority.

Its the same reason why a lot of more Japanese flavoured games sell better on ps3 as opposed to the 360.

The xbox brand has always sold western rpg well. Especially games from bioware.
Message | Report
Abberon posted 18/01/2010, 11:48
The sales suck because everyone bought it for PC instead. If you have a decent gaming PC, there's pretty much no reason to own a 360. PS3 is a different story. Either way though, the PC version is a lot better and I bet the PC sales beat out the combined 360/PS3 sales.

@st_muscat0,
Thanks for the correction. But if the graphics are superior on the PS3, then I'm even more confused about the discrepancy in sales between the two console versions. Why the difference?

That's it. I'm getting this game for PS3. I can't let the PS3 version sink to oblivion. I was considering getting the PC version (I'd need a better PC first), but these numbers are abysmal compared to 360 and it's totally undeserved. I don't want to see Bioware become exclusive to 360/PC because of relatively poor sales on PS3.

@MarshmallowMan um how about no. Gamespot never said the 360 version has better graphics, they said the 360 was the worst one, giving it an 8.5, PS3 one a 9.0 and finally a 9.5 for the PC one.
Message | Report
MarshmallowMan posted 10/01/2010, 05:07
@vv888, I agree it deserves 1M sales. The gamespot article states that the graphics are mildly better on the 360. Is that the sole reason the 360 version is outselling the PS3 version by a 2 to 1 margin? Hard to believe, since PS3 players usually say they prefer RPGs.
