Dragon Age - 3.2 million
BG 2 - 2 million
Pathfinder Kingmaker - 1.2 million
DOS2 - 1 million (as of november 2017)
Icewind Dale - 1 million
POE 2 - 700,000
Pillars of eternity 1 - 500,000
Baldurs gate 1 - 500,000
Planescape: Torment - 400,000
Torment: Tides of Numenera - 250,000
Wasteland - 250,000
Icewind Dale - 150,000




Planescape : Torment didn't have much success when it was first released but it's gradually gained a legendary status over the years, to the point many players consider it the best rpg ever . I think it's wrong to consider that BG2 would be below Dragon age because of copies sold. When DA got released, it was ten years later than baldur's gate and the number of players and money invested in marketing has increased. As a player that did and appreciated all these games, except Wasteland I would not rank them the way they are ranked by copies sold.
