How well is MEA selling?

There's also this continent called Europe, which might be smaller in landmass than the USA, but also has about double the population.

Yeah, if you add up all of Europe, but really we're talking about the more prosperous ones, like Germany, France, and the UK, which added together are still less in population than the US, you can keep throwing in countries but the fact of the matter is that the US dominates video game sales, with a few exceptions such as Japan (though I doubt MEA sells well in the land of the rising sun)

I'll bet that EA intends to keep ME around for a while. 

Honestly, it seems unrealistic to expect it to do terribly well considering what was released.
If games like that start selling well at release, then I think I'll stick to retro-gaming.

I think this newer crew can do it if they are given the chance to.  They already got their feet wet working on this game and need the chance to show that the experience they acquired has been valuable and the future of the series would benefit from that.

I actually liked DA2 a lot more than some and wish it had gotten the longer development cycle it needed.  Inquisition was a weak game for me (one of my least liked Bioware titles, actually), but they did have to learn a new engine and, I suspect, re-write some of their plans due to feedback over 2.  I didn't think the story was really good (just average) until the scene after the credits rolled.  Trespasser was a good DLC, though.  The future of that series intrigues me as I think it could have the strongest narrative and villain setup for Dragon Age yet.  

I think, if this studio is given the power to continue on with ME, they could very likely make a damn good game.  I'm just worried how they will respond to criticisms and "fan ideas".  Truth be told, I think Bioware is horrendous about going overboard with implementing what fans want (or what they think they want); not to mention not all fan beliefs and ideas unify nor does it always serve to strengthen a game.  They need to be smart about what they do and have a strong vision from the team.

And that some people will always twist facts to fit their self imagined narrative...

Although I agree it's a disappointment, you people seem to enjoy watching one of your favourite franchises get destroyed instead of trying to make it better

One of the reasons I don't hang around places like this as much as I used to.... probably the same reason developers don't either.

People have axes to grind. They have had them since 2009.

Don't let it get you down though, you know. 

Too true. I'll admit, though, I was hoping someone had some actual financial numbers and not just some guesstimate. They'd be interesting to see.

Can't believe sales untill EA speaks on it. Don't care if it's the best selling one or the worst unless it's coming from the only source that actually holds the data.

You people are doing nothing but speculating but at least it's entertaining.
