Woah I think it will be the biggest opening for a Pokémon game in Americas.

It probably won't have the same legs as Diamond/Pearl but I'm happy to see that Pokémon is far from dead.

Jesus balls christ at Pokemon!? Looks like we have a new biggest first week for a game...but technically it's two games :P


eh no, technically it's ONE game :D

got it first day, my first pokemon I bought since RED! played some others of curse, but never owned them



WOW... pokemon wow

It seriously has a shot at beating CoD:BO (360) as biggest launch ever world wide on a single console... it's already got second place in the bag...

Just wow... 

Japan First week: 2.6 million

NA preorders alone: 1.48 million

that puts it at 4.1 million and 4th biggest ever launch without EU numbers or the full american numbers... 

If it does 2.2 million america and 600k in europe that's 5.4 million worldwide and second biggest launch ever... and that's being a bit conservative!! 

It all depends on america and it could open anywhere between 2.2 and 3 million... just mind blowing

Pokemon is such a beast and amazing franchise

Gears of War 3 is going to be scary big.  Easily the biggest exclusive launch of the year.

Dragon Age 2 will have a huge launch for an RPG.  Great for Bioware because they've been pumping out some of the greatest RPG's for a long time.

And is it just me or is The Show and MLB2k11 really low this year?  Baseball season is just around the corner I'm shocked to see pre-orders so low.

Bigger than Pokémon??

Nintendo games don't count

joking joking mods!

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

i thought homefront and crysis 2 would have higher pre-orders. And brink looks like it will do well



Bah, it had a shot at 2m preorders and it ruined it! Whatever, I guess 1.5m's cool. Kinda sad that not everyone took their preorders day one.

I still expect it to be teh biggest launch evarrr!!!

I was going to address that - Gears 3 will not be the biggest exclusive launch of the year (although it will be one of them). It'll be Pokemon, then Gears 3, Zelda, & Uncharted 3 (unless the Halo: CE Remake rumor is true and then everyone will take a back seat, including Pokemon).

To the topic: Looks like Crysis 2 isn't going to open quite as high as I thought and Pokemon is off the charts!

yeah it will be next week.
