Ok, I'm ALL for ME2 on PS3, but do they really think it's gonna sell??

I mean, the PC/360 platforms pushed over 2 million ME2 units. Remember what happened with Ninja Gaiden. sure it was best on PS3, but it sold poorly.

I'm not sure I understand EA's strategy. I'd just wait and release this game a few months before 3 comes out. I seriously doubt it's gonna sell well

Then again, I could be wrong. What do ya'll think.

Dude, who cares if it sells or not, its confirmed that its coming to the PS3, and ME 3. Those who want to play it now have a chance, I'm glad they brought it to the PS3. The sales will up on there own, even if it means dropping in price because ME 2 on the 360 and PC dropped in price very rapidly. The games have been $20 for a while now, PS3 will help the sales. By the way, the games have sold not up to what they wanted, 2 millions units is a lot but it should be more.

Will it have record breaking sales, No. But sales are sales and the reason EA/ Bioware is probably putting ME2 on the PS3 is because they hope to have better sales for ME3.

It will probably sell at least close to a million, and not only that, but they almost have to do this in order to ensure making ME3 (releasing at the same time as other systems) is a success on PS3. I am picking this game up for PC shortly though :P. Well provided I like the first one.

I'm going to buy it day one and enjoy the hell out of it. I've been wanting to play this series since 2007.

It's a late port, so not that well.

for everyone saying that ps3 owners are gloating about mass effect coming to ps3, please direct your attention to the topic that you are in right now, TC why do you care? are you hurt because its on the ps3 now? i don't understand, why should it matter, some people only own a ps3 and not a 360 or a gaming rig "i hate when people say pshh mass effect doesn't need that much to run, civ 5 needs more blah blah blah", i know people who have the 360 version or pc verson and their also getting the ps3 version, so what?

Are those numbers you posted accurate? 2 mill for 2 platforms? If so, I can see why they'd be trying to up their sales, especially for such a critically acclaimed console.

I don't think it will sell very well. On the other hand, the ps3 doesn't have that many games like ME, so it may fill a void. I still think it's 'tarded releasing a year old game at full price. Sure, seeing everything attached to the package makes it seem reasonable, but I doubt most people will ever notice that. They'll just see a year old, full priced game.

Well it's a given that it will sell more now that it's on the PS3...

It sold 2 million in the first week[source]. I don't think any info was released after that.

if it doesnt sell well, the only reason imho is thats because the ps3 have so many games in 2011

I'm not sure I understand EA's strategy.

Is Mass Effect coming to PS3 too? there is your strategy.

[QUOTE="ohthemanatee"]it's being launched with all DLC inside the disk. I own the PC version and even i'm tempted to buy itMFDOOM1983

the game won't stay 60$ forever, hell, it took less then a year for the PC version to drop it's price to 20$

TC, the PC version of Mass Effect 1 was a late port, how did the recently released ME2 PC sales perform? ;) IT's as simple as that.

I understood and understand their strategy perfectly. It's very simple. It's about MAPPING out the future of the franchise.

Unlike Ninja Gaiden, ME was a planned Trilogy and a planned universe ready for rapid expansion.

Although historically LATE ports don't sell well (that's not going to change anytime soon including this late port), and Bioware and EA are doing their best to ensure this Late Port ME possibly sells better than history has shown us...the real reason why this game is coming to PS3 is for ME3 and future ME games. It's all about EXPOSING the Playstation audience to the Mass Effect game series, so the future ME games will sell much better.

Mass Effect 3 is going to sell so much better due to this move. Will it outsell the established 360/PC audience, probably not. Will ME3 sell better than late port ME2 on PS3, most assuredly. This also all just comes down to EA's fiscal bottom line.

EA btw, would have NEVER made this a 360 only game if they owned Bioware before this franchise came out. EA bought Bioware, ensured Mass Effect came out on PC and now they are directing efforts to PS3. In fact, I remember a thread similar to this one asking about why the EA wanted a PC port of Mass Effect in SW back in the day. This is just a new platform for EA to expand upon, and the PS audience is ripe for expansion. Remember, the PS3 is only 2.9 million units behind the 360's install base. The PS3, like the 360, has over 40+ million consumers for Mass Effect to be introduced too. EA makes it's profits from being a multiplatform company. They are Platform agnostic, and reap the profits because their games grace so many consoles and various systems.

Now you got your answer and understanding that you craved.

:P

Yeah. From SW, we know that all PS3 owners have a super gaming PC, too. Seems pointless to release it on the PS3. :P

Yeah, From SW, we also know that all 360 owners and all Wii owners have a super gaming PC as well. Seems pointless unless you read my post two posts up. :P

LOL why dont you just purchase the dlc it will be much cheaper

I don't care about numbers, but it's a day one buy for me.

I see your point. The fact that ME1 wasn't on PS3 (isn't there some sort of recap-esque video or something though?) could put some people off. I doubt they'll make huge amounts off of it, but with it being a port, atleast it's not too costly for them.

The more people that get to experience the game, the better.

All this Ranting cause the game is coming PS3 has gotten ridiculous really its getting real stupid.None of it is going to stop it from coming to PS3 now.So what if ME1 doesn't come to Ps3 is there is not away to make you understand whats going on the PS3 version of part 2.And for those saying how part 1 wont be PS3 thats all have to use to try put people off from buying it.

TC.. you mad? ...:P

The game will sell really good thats for sure, i mean its totally new with so much added to it on 1 DISK and its using same engine as ME3. it wont have CoD sales like 5 million first week. it will do well, i expect breaking sales records once ME3 is out because it will release on 3 systems at once. Thank you Bioware for the PS3 version. everyday a reason to get a 360 gets slimer and slimer

ME 2 has great storyline so it's better to get it 1st before ME3

Dude, who cares if it sells or not, its confirmed that its coming to the PS3, and ME 3.
