I'm glad the game does not outsell the first one, I hope EA/Bioware gets the message that this game does not need to become an action game. Just make it more RPG ! Come on Bioware, you can do it !

Good to see that this game is about to pass the first one. IMO this is the best game from this generation of consoles. I liked how they were able to get rid of the annyoing inventory systerm and the awful Mako. It was an improvement in every way from the first game, which was amazing as well. I'm also glad to see it go to PS3, so more people get to play it.

Huge letdown. Well polished game sure, and they improved the shooter combat, but nothing else. Terrible, almost non-existent story. Formulaic and content lacking characters (also too many). All in all a hugely overrated letdown. I hope for ME3 Bioware spends more time on their strengths as developers rather than improving shooter combat, because it ruined ME2 for me. Only play this game if you enjoy killing wave after wave of enemies from behind cover, trogging through linear shooting galleries. In summary, the game ditched far too much from its predecessor, perhaps to acquiesce to EAs wishes for a money making shooter. Bioware, please dont follow the same method for ME3. Make the story and characters paramount, not just afterthoughts, piggybacking off you attempts at mainstream shooter combat.

As far as thebizkit claiming Mass Effect 2 probably having the greatest story ever, I have to totally disagree. There really isn't much of a story when going with the continuity from the first game. It is more focused on combat with squadmate acquisition and character building. Yes, it does carry somewhat of the story from the first game trying to lead up to an ending, but it is Mass Effect that truly has the best storyline and presentation when discovered during the gameplay. I do love Mass Effect 2 and it is an awesome game, but I score it hgiher for combat and characters than the story.

I have been playing games since the late 80's, so I have been lucky to play greats from almost every console system out there. Mass Effect 2 is one of the greatest games I have ever played in my life, it probably has the greatest story ever. I'm shocked that such a great game did not sell better but blame it on a non holiday release. Either way who ever has not played this, pick it up!

Personally Im glad to see this game limping towards the sales of its predecessor. Yeah, itll probably improve on ME1s sales, but now its an established IP, surely that was inevitable anyway?

I was massively disappointed with ME2s dumbed down shooter heavy direction. Id like to hope maybe theyll develop ME3 differently in light of this, but something tells me theyll just go even more shooter oriented.

Probably add multiplayer too...

I would say its dissappointing because even if it reachs the sales of the 1st game, its still behind the likes of 'Kung Fu Panda', the Force Unleashed' and 'Lego Batman'. these are hardly triple AAA games, where as ME 1 & 2 are; and those games arnt shooters either.

No wonder Publishers are scared of releasing games so early in the year and all usually wait to release their games near the holidays. I think that is what is stopping this game from selling is the time it was released. In January the month after Christmas where most people are broke. But lets see how well it sells this year maybe it will get a bump in the holidays if they release a GOTY edidtion.

But at the moment it's selling 20k per week and even if it drops to let's say 13 or 15k per week, it will still see a holiday boost, which will raise the average.
At the end of this year it will easily be over 2 million.
Lifetime sales will be more around 3 million.

I told you where ME1 is, its still selling thousands every week. It did 5K last week and people can buy it via XBL. It hasn't reached its peak yet.

ME2 will be just over 2 million this year. Its such a great game and critical success that legs will be strong especially after price cuts.

The release of ME3 will also boost the sales of ME1 and ME2. ME Series = Legs

Who said it would outsell GOW3? I don't know why anyone would, that was the most anticipated sequel on the PS3 outside of Metal Gear and Gran Turismo. Now, Mass Effect 2 is doing a great job when you look at Mass Effect 1 sales. It will outsell Mass Effect 2 by the end of this year which is a pretty good feat. On the other hand I can't wait to see ME3, I hope it gets released next year in January though that would be rather soon.

That depends. There is no reliable PC numbers, but like I said it was on Direct2Drive's top 10 best sellers list for about 6 weeks. So the PC sales are pretty substantial.

As far as it's "legs", they're typical of a game released this time of year. To put it into perspective, "FFXIII" sold 1.5 million in it's first week, dropped to 180k the second week, and 5k in the 7th week in Japan. And "FF" is obviously huge in Japan.

Historically games released this time of year don't sell, and they don't sell for long.

Sales figures on sites like this and NPD should be taken with a grain of salt. NPD only covers about 60% of the retailers in the U.S. and doesn't cover Wal-Mart, the biggest retailer. Also "ME2" has been on Direct2Drive's top 10 best sellers list since the game came out, so the PC sales are definitely good but not listed anywhere afaik.

So this is an estimate. Nothing worth arguing or trolling over.

Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games I've played in my life and the best purchase I've made in the last 10 years. The level of enjoyment I received from playing this hasn't been rivaled by another game in what seems like a lifetime.

So its been adjusted down 100k now. They were spot on the first time, then adjusted it up to 1m. And now down 100k to the original prediction. A bit easy on the adjustments maybe?

I do not care for artistic level for it's subjective. Epic games achievement was much impressive than Bioware's. The average public being easily impressed by some fantasy alien landscapes (hello Avatar) do not change the fact textures, overall scenario quality and anti-aliasing are much better on Gears not to mention framerate. And DF's tech guys aren't the same as EG's reviewer body.

I guess you don't appreciate graphics on an artistic level..

and despite the bad things you picked out you you didn't seem to add any positive points which have been improved over the original game and they still awarded this game 10/10

@ anyone thinking this is the best of the X360 -
Gears 2 still has better graphics. ME2 framerate dips more on heavy battles and there is no AA. Go check EG's digital foundry analysis.

Yes, I still think ME1 > ME2 cause ME2 completely lost that Late 70's/Early 80's sci-fi movie-like feel to it. That Bladerunner like feel the original had... ohh the fiction was SO thick. ME2 got mainstreamed but unlike the transition from Gears of War 1 to Gears of War 2, Bioware did it right.

Yes it was definitely a great game to play through but I still agree with my notions on the original: this is not Bioware's best. Obviously doesn't mean it is a bad game, but I enjoyed other Bioware games more.

But a very atmospheric game with some fun characters in your party.

Fable 2 didn't compete with a PC release. The PC version is $50 on Steam and they don't charge taxes. That's about $15 cheaper than the 360 version at a retailer.

@ reaver_x - 2m was shipped games from EA to retail. Not retail sold to average joe.

Good sales, and one cant help but thinking that this is the 360 counterpart to PS3s Uncharted 2. Both about the same first week, both at about 96 metacritic, both (probably) GOTY, both epic story, both with good graphics. Dont jump me people! Just spreading the love.
