Well, to be clear for all the love I have for DOS 1 and 2, I still prefer BG2 by a long shot as an overall experience.
Which doesn't mean I feel the urge to make up some ridiculous bullshit about it as someone else.
I dunno about exact sales number, but its a detail, really. While BG2 is my favourite RPG with torment, I think no one will deny how innovative and fresh DOS2 was at his release and how much freedom and exploration the game allows. I Mean, casting a rain spell near a well to make the water level rise and discover some talking skull... Wow
But tbh, given the number of players now, the success of DOS2 and the reputation of Baldur's gate as a serie, I can't imagine the game selling less than 4 -5 millions copy on his first year, unless the critics hardcore bash it. If it has great review, it may even be 10-15 millions, maybe?
Anything that helps old school RPG get back to the scene would make me glad, honestly.
