Mass Effect 3 has done EA and Bioware proud by selling a massive 900,000 units in its first 24hrs on sale, EA CEO John Riccitiello made known at the Wedbush Technology, Media and Telecommunications Conference, as reported by Venture Beat.

According to the site, Riccitiello said that the game had sold 890,000 copies in 24hrs, and that by now it’s over the million-sold mark since it’s been released in Europe today. He also said they were expecting the game to do well so they’re quite pleased with the early results.

“We anticipated it doing well, so we’re happy,” he said.

    is that all?
    i was really expecting it to do higher then that!
    i mean gears 2 sold 2M units in 24 hours and thats on 1 single platform!
    this is one of the most anticipated titles of the year!
    not to mention its one of the VERY few titles that has a lowest review score of 8!
    i honestly cant remember the last game that had such a good track record, i mean even freaking portal 2 got a few 7s and lower.
