Mass Effect 3 sales pass $200 million at retail

BioWare's end to the trilogy putting up solid numbers for EA

Mass Effect 3 is bringing in some strong retail sales for publisher Electronic Arts, who, as part of the fourth-quarter earnings announcement today, announced that BioWare's latest Mass Effect title managed to generate over $200 million in sales at retail.

The company, however, did not mention unit sales for Mass Effect 3 for either retail or digital. As of last month, the game had sold 1.3 million copies in the US.
