I think that interest in Rome fell off pretty sharply after it had been out for 6 months or so (as players started to realize more and more the flaws in the game). On the other hand, Medieval/Viking Invasion, while not selling as many copies as Rome, has consistently maintained a pretty strong following. I believe this is largely due to all the excellent mods for MTW, and the simple fact that its gameplay is much more solid than Rome's--mod or no mod.

I don't know the actual figures, but I know Rome sold well enough to be the 10th-best selling PC game of 2004. (As a result, it gave Activision the top 3 PC games of last year.)
