Well, it's gonna be a lot harder buying them down the road.Several copies of the CE does seem rather wild right from the start. I suppose if you thought you'd need all of them eventually.

Well, it sold more than DAO and was developed in a fraction of the time. I think it was very profitable, I just suspect they're not yet done with it.
Where did you get these numbers? I've only heard that it sold a bout a million fewer copies.

Everything I've been able to find suggests that it initially outsold DAO, but dropped off pretty quickly in comparison.
Working on a final save of ME2 for import. I've got about half the loyalty missions finished so far and I still need to go through some of the DLC. Playing the demo so much has made ME2 kinda painful to play. Shepard moves so slowly when you can't run for more than 3 seconds. :/

Maybe the BioWare voice direction wore her out.

Hell, if you wait a month or two , someone will probably modify it for the ME2 to ME3 area..

I'm under the same impression, that it sold fairly well at first, but then it just stopped, and thus in total falling short of DA:O sales numbers by a lot.
Edit: For reference, VGChartz lists DA:O at roughly 4 million total across all platforms, with DA 2 at roughly 1.85 million. Make of those numbers what you will.

It initially had a lot of momentum from DA:O's success, but then word of mouth got around that it was crap, and people stopped buying it. Somewhat reassuring that a bad game still won't sell as well as a good game, no matter how much hype is behind it.

So why did DA:O sell 4 million copies then? :>
Because it wasn't outright crap? There were flaws in it, and I'd say replayability is actually quite low because of the amount of grinding slog in some of the sections.. but at the time there wasn't much in the way of decent fantasy rpg type games, and it was a fairly decent offering.
Hell, even DA2 had good points. I actually loved the whole setup of staging the progress of time like that, and setting things up for that growth and potential fallout of decisions you made earlier. Unfortunately the problems, the "only 3 dungeons reused continuously" and the fact that while some pieces of writing and setup were damn good, it would then sink to serious depths..

It had an 'evil horde invading, save the world' plot. Those are popular.So why did DA:O sell 4 million copies then? :>
