I mean IMO I don't think lots of people who own a 360 (outside of the more "hardcore" gaming community.....like people who post on here) know about Mass Effect.  I mean there's no advertising really to speak of and I think people are just seeing Halo 3 and GTA IV and overlooking this awesome upcoming game.  But maybe not, and maybe this is why it's releasing in the Summer.

Bioware only wants this game to be sold for about maybe 23 people. That's the goal

on a serious note, i dont beleive it will sell amazing in the states. i'll get it, my friends will get it, and who knows maybe some people on my friendslist will get it. but the average 360 gamer is psyched about halo 3 and gta. the only way they'll buy this game is if it randomly becomes popular. eitehr way i'l enjoy the game and thats mainly all i care about.

Fable sold really really well, as did KOTOR. As long as the game is good, people will buy it. WRPGS have a good sales history on xbox.

It won't be a gigantic seller, but it could move a couple million, potentially.

I think it will sell a couple of million worldwide and that is a conservative estimate.

If its a good game (like we actually need to ask if it will be a good game) it will sell well. I mean KOTOR sold very well, why wouldn't mass effect? Plus I think Bioware said they are going to market the bejeezus out of it.

I mean IMO I don't think lots of people who own a 360 (outside of the more "hardcore" gaming community.....like people who post on here) know about Mass Effect. I mean there's no advertising really to speak of and I think people are just seeing Halo 3 and GTA IV and overlooking this awesome upcoming game. But maybe not, and maybe this is why it's releasing in the Summer.

That's a big seller, but a gigantic seller would have to be something more along the lines of 5-8 million.  Anything above that level can be considered a bonafide system-moving machine.  2 million is big, but it's not big enough to shake the earth's foundation.

Fable on xbox sold 2.6 millions, Kotor 1-2 multimillions, Oblivion 2 million on 360 alone, you think Mass Effect will sell less than 2 million ??? NO WAY IN HELL

That does have the Star Wars license on it though. Not saying everyone bought it just because it was a SW game, but I would of assumed that would have contributed.

Probably, but that would have been negated by the fact Bioware wouldn't have had the same level of brand recognition on consoles as it does now.

The game will sell at least 4 million copies... if it is as good as its early demos.

The 360 tends to lean more to hardcore gamers as of now and for the next while until they can drop the price of the unit.

That being said, this game should sell really good if BioWare turns out great/fantastic gameplay, which I assume it will be.  So it should sell very good to the 360 community.  Can't see it selling less than 1.5 million in a few months, but my crystal ball is broken right now so I might be wrong.
