Sorry for the notification, but I must ram that down the throat of every Halo fan.

Haha, not sure if you actually work in a store, or a office instead, but that should sure be a treat to see in the stores.

Hey Ben, I was just wondering about something, not that interested in actual numbers.

But if VGC is sorta correct on Halo 4 spent all these weeks to get to 224K.

And COD:BO2 may now be above Halo 4 (Not sure if you mean 360v or PS360)

That would mean BO2 just threw down some +224K pre-orders by Gamestop in two weeks... O.o

Not really a question here I suppose, just more of a wtf :P

on 09 May 2012 | 4 comments

I mean combined PS360 BO2 pre-orders have surpassed Halo 4 on just the 360.

on 09 May 2012

I suppose that's cause for a small sign of relief.

on 09 May 2012

still though BO2 will be huge, though idk what to think of it yet because while we are getting significant pre-orders were also getting quite a few people coming in and say they are done with the series. I'm really not sure what to think on BO2 will perform when all is said and done.

on 09 May 2012

Yes, BO2 will be huge, not even the biggest haterz could deny that.

I reckon it could (not saying it will) post the biggest COD FW yet and track lower than the previous games after week 6-7 orso going off current trends.

I'm really curious on how it's going to fare next-gen, will people still want to play rehashes of a game that's been outdated for 3 years running now?

I'm pretty unlikely to buy it myself, not only will I be busy with Halo 4, it just does not look appealing at all to me, and I thought BO was the best in the series so far.

Activision/Blizzard sure have the $ to invest in new technology and staff for next-gen titles, the question is if they will.

Okay, another GS question, my last one, promise.

I'm trying to buy Xenoblade from the online store so it ships to a relative's house, however, it won't allow me to use the credit card. Is there a special way of adding it? How do I put my "secret" code? Is there a problem if the card is not from U.S.A?

on 07 May 2012 | 1 comments

Hmmm, not sure the online site is ran totally seperate from the stores, theres a chance that the card being from a different country could be the problem

So after getting a better look at more numbers for CODBO2 from more stores / locations I've got to admit I was 100% wrong. I though COD had finally hit its limit in sales but it really hasn't....not even close.

Most pre-ordered game at Gamestop currently?

on 06 May 2012

Thisa make Luigi very sad... I predicted BO2 would be the last COD title to surpass MW3, but mesa was still hoping it wouldn't...

on 07 May 2012

No AC3 is still above it, but its been available for longer, it looks like BO2 has already passed Halo though :-(

on 07 May 2012

... You just make Mario sad too... :-(

COD is good for the industry and all, but it's time gamers developed some taste. xD

on 07 May 2012

Man I'm not against COD but it still does sadden me to see it surpass a game which looks so incredibly promising as Halo 4 does.

I come here to request Halo 4 pre-order numbers :P

I hope you don't get sick of me coming in here monthly (or is it bi-monthly?) harassing you for numbers

on 03 May 2012 | 3 comments

Oh I do have a question I'd like to ask. Can you give me a rough estimate on what percentage of total pre-orders in the US are through Gamestop? I'm just kind of curious about that.

on 03 May 2012

Hey, Halo 4 is doing pretty decent, its slowed down quite a bit though. Still chugging a long but this far out from release it won't be too big each week. Still though for being this far out its huge, it'll pick up after E3 I'm sure. I won't give you an exact percentage on our pre-orders other than we are the largest pre-order retailer in NA by a large margin.

And no homie your not bothering me at all.

on 03 May 2012

Thanks man I really appreciate the information :)

Unreal Engine 4 Will Make Next Generations Games Look Utterly Mindblowing First Screenshots

yo_john117 said:Oh God that looks incredible. I can't wait for next gen and its CGI-like graphics! I've been wanting this ever since I first played a videogame. I know UE4 is finally crossing that line of CGI-like graphics, I can't even imagine what an Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, or Gears of War game will look like with these kinds of unbelievable graphics....

Unreal Engine 4 vs. Playstation 3 games (God of War III, Ascension, Uncharted 3, The Last of Us etc)

The UE4 screens are MILES better than the PS3 ones..............not sure what your talking about. The effects like heat waves, particle effects, and dynamic lighting alone are massive improvements....
