Neverwinter Nights 2 is the sequel to Neverwinter Nights (PC) developed by Bioware in 2002. This sequel, however, is developed by Obsidian Entertainment, which is made up by
many from the now defunct Black Isle Studios (makers of Fallout). The previously planned
Xbox 360 port has been scrapped and NWN2 will not appear on Mac OS X or Linux as NWN did.
NWN 2 features the new Electron Engine, based on NWN's Aurora Engine, but uses Direct X instead of Open GL. The new engine makes the game more fitting for real-time play. The game is based on Dungeons & Dragons Revised 3rd Edition rules.
NWN2 features greater customization in its interface and camera controls done through
XML. The menu system has been replaced with a "context menu system" found in Fallout 2.
Players continue to control parties consisting of their character and 3 non-player characters (NPCs). The game is also multiplayer. Parties are now revised to treat members as companions rather than henchmen. The game also includes a new warlock base class and new prestige classes.

6Arbiter, it is possible that some of the sales come from the first Neverwinter Nights and its expansions, but according to Wikipedia the first Neverwinter Nights came out in June 2002, and the three expansions came out on June 2003, December 2003, and July 2005. I don't think sales from 2-4 year old games would amount to anything significant.
I don't know what to make of any low North American numbers, maybe this title is doing very well in Europe, or perhaps Battlefield 2142 should be higher.

8zukaus, there's a short squeeze coming if that is true. However, can we assume that any of those additional 1 million sales are for the original game and expansions for the original?
My problem with NVN2 is that the game never shows up on the Top 10 PC games sold list in North America. Battlefield 2142 has consistently been on that list and according to a Next Generation article, it had only sold 220k through the end of 2006. If any of those PC rankings charts hold water, Battlefield 2142 should be priced higher than NVN2, but the numbers there are for BF2142 aren't really that high...
If only there were reliable PC game sales numbers to compare against...[ Guru ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 159 ]bids
17Atari just came out with a press release today announcing a new expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2. In that release they state, "The Neverwinter Nights franchise has sold more than three million copies worldwide".
According to Alpha's article on Oct 17, when NWN2 went gold, Atari had previously stated that the franchise had sold two million copies worldwide.
From those two press releases one can infer that NWN2 has sold approximately 1 million copies worldwide. I believe this stock has finally hit a fair price. It's been a good run if you've been short this stock but the time to cover is now.
