The most generous estimates put the game selling 2 million copies and most estimates put it at 1 million. The game flopped.

Also fun fact, successful games are known to share that they have been successful, this game hasn't.

Fun truth, a non-flop would be TGA nominated for more than accessibility.

Geoff Knightley's awards aren't any kind of measure unless of course you like Sony shills and one long advertisement award ceremony, like it was last year. Regardless of this game, the TGAs are a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously until they actually honour the people who make the games and ditch Knightley.

EA does not generally share sales data other than in meetings with investors.

Jedi Survivor is considered a success by EA and we have no idea how much it sold.

Aye, no rush to the bargain bin for this one. Then again, the people who have had some insight into actual sales numbers to do charts etc. have said that it's been fine. Not terrible, not stellar, just fine. Which is really what the Steam numbers alone should be telling us for a multi-platform release. What we don't know is what EA's internal expectations were and we're a couple of months out from a rough idea of that.

You'd expect an absolute flop like this to be on sale but surprisingly it isn't. The Electronic Arse execs must have forgotten it even existed.

While true that they don't give out numbers very often, it's still fairly easy to find that the game was doing well at the time (Star Wars Survivors):

"However, EA made a point to express that the game is performing very, very well this early. According to EA, Jedi Survivor is performing “very strongly” against the internal expectations they set for the game, and also compared to its predecessor, Fallen Order, with millions of players already on board." - Forbes [www.forbes.com]

This article was on May 10 with Survivor releasing on April 28. So maybe not a headline saying 'Survivor Sold 1 million copies', but still a strong indicator of how well it was selling up to that point. We have gotten nothing like that with DAtVG.

Also just a fyi, the transcripts for those investor meetings are public domain and are easily accessible. Unfortunately the most recent one was a week before DAtVG released so we'll have to wait til the next investor meeting.

He says he's surprised and you interpret that as demanding. And because of YOUR wild interpretation you call him a sewer troll.

Classy.

[Owndizzel]

Game needs at least a 41% discount to be a viable purchase.

As a sidenote: you can get all Mass Effect Games for less than 5 Euros each but the older DA games are still like 30 bucks or something during this black friday sale. I guess they were really planning on getting people excited over DA and make some money off the older ones in the process. Either that or they didn't want people to massively buy the older games instead of the new one.
