Good news for the game.
 Mass Effect Andromeda’ is the 3rd biggest launch of the year so far (behind the recent releases of ‘Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Wildlands’ and ‘Horizon Zero Dawn’) and Andromeda has the 3rd best week 1 for the Mass Effect franchise in terms of physical sales.  ‘Mass Effect Andromeda’  shows a sales unit split of 55% PS4, 41% Xbox One and just 4% on PC, with an undivulged quantity having sold through EA Origin on PC (and also of course  PSN / Xbox Live).

kind of disappointing for Mass Effect. its the first major established franchise to release this year (i wouldnt consider Ghost Recon major). and it is down from ME2 and ME3 (at least physically). and ME2 only released on the 360 back then.

its sub 90k

I'm not sure I'd call this "good news for the game".
 For context from the other UK sales topic:

ME2 released on January 29th, 2010; this means that the monthly charts should just count ME2's first week.
 

This means (assuming this data is correct) that Andromeda opened at less than 90k retail sales in the UK.

That would be retail PC sales only, which is almost dead in the UK.  Digital sales are not counted.

3rd best in a franchise with 4 games lol

Well that's a poor start but I think it was expected. There wasn't much hype and then all the negativity killed any chance of hype increasing

In the UK, mind you

PewDiePie, especially, was rather unforgiving towards ME:A.

Personally think a lot of the complaints are way overblown.  Yes there are problems, but it's still a pretty solid game.  It still might be good for it to sell less just so Bioware/EA realize the problems and fix them.  Still might not happen though.
