Because we don't deserve better games

It will do just fine during the release window. Initial performance really depends on marketing which Andromeda has. Whether or not it has legs depends on how damage control goes.
I'd guess around same as ME3 or maybe a tad under if WoM erodes it's legs and they don't patch issues fast enough.
I don't see it blowing up larger and making the franchise bigger (I got impression from early EA PR this was a hope) as it's looks like too much of the same with glitches to attract beyond those already into the franchise.
If reviews aren't kind and it's really glitchy a'la Unity then I could see if selling less than ME3 and putting a dent in franchise strength.

Yeah, it will sell. Mainstream Franchise that diehards will get it no matter what.
Everyone wants the hot items no matter how good or bad it is.

It should sell well. But you never know. Horizon is a strong competitor on PS4.

Will sell well, but it will not be Mass Effect's "Witcher 3" moment.
Will sell in-line or 20% better than other Mass Effect games.

I can assure you sales wise ME is getting zero competition from those two.

It is going to sell well at launch through hype.
Critical reception will be Luke warm and disappointing, lots of 7s and 8s.
Not a bad game, just not a great one is my prediction.

I disagree. Nier and Mass Effect are so close and one has incredibly positive buzz while the other.... does not. It's not too much of a stretch to think Nier will affect it

Who is predicting now after rewiews? Someone said 10 mio? I'm saying max 5 mio over all platforms now in 1 year. Pesimistic?
Seems reasonable after what happened to recent adventure games.

It'll still do a million +. But it won't be to the tune of what EA wants out of the franchise, so much like Dead Space 3 before it. This will be the last game we ever see of the series.
Agreed. Don't think we'll see another Mass Effect.
According to the reviews, the game didn't answer all the questions ... so if there won't be another one, I would be disappointed

Have you played it
And even if you did because you don't like it , it's mediocre

Yeah I'm agreeing with them. Ghost Recon selling well it seems despite being a turd.

Is this actually true?
Genuinely curious as I haven't seen anything other than that first article about it being number 1 in the UK.
It's surprising, as I think the OT is ~25 pages, so if a lot of people are buying it, it seems no one is really talking about it.
I wasn't personally interested in it a ton either, so maybe it's just me not aware of its popularity.

I don't see a world where Mass Effect doesn't sell well. Regardless of the world-is-ending rhetoric coming from a few forums.

Best selling launch week in UK beating Horizon and Zelda.
GAF doesn't necessarily represent the mass audience. Military shooters and Ubisoft open world games are a lot more popular among the public than they are here.
Yes. It will easily end up being the best selling game this year until the fall. I don't think ME will be able to generate enough buzz to beat it. Positive reviews and WOM would have helped with legs.
it'll have short legs I'm afraid.

Interesting. Horizon isn't surprising. I had no idea how good that game was going to be until i played it myself (so hopefully it has long legs).
Zelda is surprising, i guess, although I suppose switch availability had a lot to do with that?
I'm now super eager to see what March NPDs look like.

Considering how awful it looks I'm glad it'll have short legs.
Hopefully they'll focus on DA instead.
