Electronic Arts shipped 3.5M copies of Mass Effect 3 to retailers, but Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz has announced during an investor call that the firm expects the game to have sold only 1.5 million in console sales during launch month.
Creutz went on to say during the investor call that games released in March usually have a difficult time in retail sales.
Mass Effect 3 sold 890K units for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the first 24 hours of launch in the United States.
