Mass Effect Amasses One Million Copies Sold , halo3 still going strong

This could be a double bladed sword...

Is 1,000,000 sold in 3 weeks enough to keep it on the 360? Yes.

Will E.A see that number and NOT think of what it could make if it was on the PS3 and PC? No.

Fortunately, my new EGM came today and they asked Bioware straight up (as well as an insider for MGS) and they said that MGS will remain the publisher for ME 2 and 3. They said Microsoft considers ME a franchise almost as important as Halo.

More proof that Mass Effect 2 will be out next year with Mass Effect 3 following a few months later. Mass Effect Street (staring Snoop Dog) will be made by one of the other EA studios once everyone at Bioware takes their ball and goes home. Who is up for some Mass Effect Underground?pins_basic

would be a sad day if that happened.

Wait so can someone please clear ths up for me???

Is it over a million sold or over a million shipped?

By your logic then Uncharted only sold 10k copies to retail?

sigh your so blind.

Wait so can someone please clear ths up for me???

Is it over a million sold or over a million shipped?

Cyber-

sold, they more than likely had shipped over a million by the end of the first week for black friday

This is great news. Now I'm positive Mass Effect 2 will be a sure thing :)kankthetank

Thank god. I would be VERY upset not to finish that story line! YES!!

I feel dumb though cause I thought it was doing bad

Exactly what I said, in the new EGM they decided to get to the bottom of the future of ME. They talked to a source: "Very very close to the development of the series" who confirmed that Microsoft will be publishing the entire series.

All fanboy nonsense aside, ME DESERVES it.

I'm glad that 360 owners continue to support good games on the system.

This is something everyone on SW should embrace, regardless of fanboy affiliation. SUPPORT PEOPLE BUYING GOOD GAMES.

No matter what side you're on, this is a GOOD thing.

Nice. First VGA named it RPG of the Year now this. Congrats MS on another hit!

My 360 scratched my copy of Mass Effect. It still works, most of the time but the PC version could not be released soon enough.JimmyT2

Really? THat sucks, I've never heard of that happening.

What's your tag?

Yeah it's the first time it's happened to me and ME was the reason I bought the 360. If it were not for ME being so good something like this would have been grounds for me to sell my 360 and ME but instead I'm considering buying the game again and yet another time if a PC version is released. Games this good only come out every few years if we are lucky, despite it's frame rate issues the game is solid gold.

I think you should try to contact MS and see if you send them in the game and the package if they will give you a fresh copy. It's worth a try anyway.

Yeah, since it's MS published I'm sure you could get another copy given you're willing to b*tch enough (and effectively enough)to MScustomer service over the phone.

It's worth it (a try, at least.)

dont get me wrong, sony has its faults also.. But you know how MS like to rely on those "Sold to retail" numbers more often than not

Considering that the 360 is dominating software sales by a mile this gen so far, there is no reason to lie...

and now ea will ruin mass effect. commence the overpriced dlc same day as game release.

Actually I don't want it to stay exclusive as I only own a ps3 right now but at the same time I am a huge Bioware fan.

Conclusion: Bad combination.

Cows: take notes. THIS is how you show your appreciation for a game developer.

You buy their product.

[QUOTE="Eltroz"]Well for anyone that was worried they may never do Mass Effect 2 well this should crush any of those doubts. King_of_Sorrow

I bet Mass Effect 1 and 2 will go to the PS3.

Good stuff, MS fans.Udsen

I think you mean to say Boware fans. MS dissolved Digital Anvil and I will never forgive them for that. With EA buying Bioware this could be one of the last really good Bioware games. It didn't take that long for EA to ruin Origin which actually lead to the Wing Commander developers leaving to form Digital Anvil and MS buying and dissolving them after Freelancer and Brute Force (a game they should have never made because it wasn't their style, they are good at space sims not TPS) were commercial failures.

Woot! Another million seller for the Xbox 360. They just keep comin'!BioShockOwnz

Assassin's Creed will be next. That game is also selling great. I can't see Bioware making Mass Effect for any other console. It might go the PC. EA is very multiplat, but maybe M$ can make it timed exclusive for the first 8 months or something.

You know nothing about the programming in PS3. And it will be around for a very long time.

I'm not the one spinnnig this it's just like they sold 10.4 million 360s last year. :roll:

Yeah.. they didn't sell 10.4 million last year. They shipped 10.4 million. Everyone should know this by now. They sold just over 7 million last year.

Every single software company/publisher uses shipped numbers because they're higher.

Makes them look better.

:| That's how they get all sale figures surely. Bioware have still sold 1 million copies, the actual retail stores are aware of demand and so order in copies accordingly. There are so many places that you can buy games now, that it would be impossible to tally the numbers accurately any other way.

This dreck is just so pathetic. MS has another million seller. Deal with it, and go back to "waiting" already.
