[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3050222, member: 20741"] Last I checked NPD (which was quite a while ago), it was about 550,000 units or so. A lot of those sold at bargain prices though when it was deeply discounted and it may be that the digital distro numbers are in that number too. For comparison, the BG:Dark Alliance console series actually did better. I'm really not sure, sitting here, what ToEE's final sales were. At the time, it did about the same - a lil better initially at least - than one of the NWN XPs which was released at about the same time. Atari did some odd things with distro on ToEE though, including some electronic distro through Kazaa/Morpheus. The sales data is kinda flakey on it as a result. I do know that it was *heavily* pirated and delays in localization hurt sales abroad. I'm not aware of anyone in the biz suggesting ToEE needs a sequel though. :) The thing I liked most about it? The writing! Ok. Maybe not. ;) It was a bitch for localization, but I liked the radial which used ENGLISH flyouts. No icons, no guessing. Just... Words. In. English. The formatting was way off when localized to other languages though. There were jokes about what it must have been like to play in Germany, with a radial that took up half the screen. [/QUOTE]
