That is a good question.  I've read that the initial sales numbers for
DA2 were higher than for DA:O, but that isn't the whole story.  How
well did those numbers stack up over time?  And what will the initial
sales numbers of DA3 look like?  I'm sure there are people who bought
DA2 on the strength of DA:O and were disappointed -- how many of them
will hold off on DA3?

I bought DA:O, but haven't managed to get far enough into my play stack
to actually play it yet.  (Yes, I suck.)  Based on the reviews, and the
fact that I still haven't had time to play DA:O, I didn't buy DA2.
This means that Bioware has slipped from my 'buy on release' list to my
'buy only if I need another game' list -- and given how many other good
games I have pending, that's not a good place for them to be.  It may
well be years before my to-play stack gets down to the point where I
need to fill it up with second-rank product.  More likely it never
happens.  Result?  Bioware loses a sale.
