BG3 will sell more than both BG1 and 2 combined. There's pretty much no doubt about it, given it's also going on console eventually.
Well... Considering that those games were released in 2000 when a very limited numbers of familly had a computer/console at home... That's pretty obvious.
The video game market was also absolutely not the same. How could you compare ?
Um, it was re-released on various formats about 6 years ago. I was quoting the steam figures if you noticed. Also I ended the paragraph with this: As far as the mass market goes, it's very much a product of its time. Which is basically what you said.
I'm not sure what your point is. I'm not the one comparing games. I think such comparisons aren't useful. I love both games. I'm specifically saying the market has changed and what worked back then doesn't have mass appeal now.
If you want to know who is making the comparisons, check out the post below yours.
