Orbax, 10 million for DOS2 ? Are you sure ? that said, itcan be interesting to compare but it's perillous at the same time. Indeed it's complicated to compare the sales of games edited in many different years. I mean the market wasn't the same 20 years ago obviously.
Im not sure, I dont know what the heck I read lol. I fixed it. Its 1 million copies sold - as of november 2017. Im trying to find current numbers
SteamSpy points something between 2 and 5 mio coppies for DOS2. A good quantity by the way. Yet, comparing the scenario of BG2 related to gaming penetration in the world in the 2000's I'd say that BG2 could possibly be 10 times bigger than DOS2? (Sludge assumption).
I'm usualy avoiding the direct relation of number of number of games sold vs quality.
gaming culture, proliferation of capable PCs.. the numbers are muddy, but it does at least show that Larian, for a tough genre, holds up pretty darn well and isn't a david v goliath battle against the untouchable gods of yesteryear. COD at 250 million copies and Halo has sold over 65 million so we aren't going to talk about how people in general spend their time lol
DAMN 250 copies for COD? And I was amazed of CD's Witcher 3 hitting 50 milion mark. Now I somehow understand why some of the players treat the game as a fantasy character simulator and that's the solely reason for them to like the game :p
