DFC Intelligence reports that Mass Effect 2 sold 1.1 million copies on the Xbox 360 in January, which was apparently six times the sales of any other game in that period. DFC also notes a significant uptick in play of Mass Effect 2 based on data from GamerDNA, citing that it’s “likely supported by the ability to transfer a save file from a completed Mass Effect game into Mass Effect 2 where several key player decisions in the first game could be carried over into the second game.”
Could save transfers become a new standard in games because of Mass Effect?
