Which tells us nothing because it is 2017 and even console players are progressing towards digital copies.  Also not surprising because of all the negativity surrounding this game. Which is good cause EA/Bioware will need to work hard to get good publicity by fixing/polishing the widely complained issues. |

Only 4% of the players are in PC. Time to shut down the PC support. Lock it up!

Thats actually quite bad. Not to mention it sold less than ME3. That's the real comparison here.

Dumb console player over here and this was honestly the very first game I bought digitally!
The deluxe edition was digital only too, so I think that will have helped push a lot more digital sales through. It's still debuted at Number 1 physically here in the U.K. Charts.

Those figures are for physical copies only. It says 10% of ME3s PC sales were physical but only 4% of Andromeda's are so it's difficult to make an actual comparison. Of course sales reflecting 10% will be higher than sales reflecting just 4%, less than half. They're just comparing the statistics erroneously to make it seem like the game is selling badly 🙄
Of course so many years later the digital sales will be at greater. Times have changed a lot since ME3 on the retail side of things!

UK software sale chart are totally meaningless. Not only are they physical only when even consoles are now going digital, but the first week doesn't mean much either.
For example, DAI first week on the physical UK chart started at #5, it moved around the same amount of Units as DA2 (which was #1 when it released), yet it is the fastest selling game of Bioware while DA2 was one of the weakest.

You are starting to struggle to find a game shop on the high street now on the UK. Certainly in this here London there aren't that many (9 for GAME, according to their website).
Don't know why people still bother with these charts, especially for PC games. I think the last physical box I bought was ARMA2 in 2009.

It makes sense that it should outsell Horizon: Zero Dawn though, right? Seeing as HZD is a console exclusive and Andromeda is available on 3 platforms. Digital sales for MEA should blow HZD out of the park just because of that fact, I would think. I know Andrew Lucas 's article is for physical sales, so that's very exciting and I'm happy it seems a lot of players have seen the good things in the reviews, but I always figured it should outsell HZD even if HZD turns out to be GOTY. |

Some of the best selling franchises are console exclusives. Example, Uncharted 4 sold 8.7 million copies and that's a PS4 exclusive. HZD sold 2.6 millions copies in two weeks, that's Sony biggest new franchise debut on the PS4 and the numbers are trending toward Uncharted 4 sales numbers. No BioWare games ever sold that much, that fast. ME3 sold 6 millions over its lifetime (i.e. 5 years now). |

Back in dem olden days of ME2 the only way to get ME2 was with a physical copy. So we had to walk uphill through the snow and get it from the store. These youngsters today can just digitally download MEA if they want to.
In all seriousness physical copies do not represent the bulk of sales any more.
