From what I have seen the past 2 years 360 owners are more proactive in preordering games and PS3 owners seem to just buy them during week 1.

^That and also the tiny little fact that they have 10 million more consoles out in America than the PS3 ;) lol

That is very true! I tend to overlook that this is for the Americas only.

I wonder how the Gears numbers will do now that the beta has been released?

While there are some things that would be nice for Epic to clean up in the beta (level design of Trenches and spawning issues come to mind), this is, for the most part, one beautiful multiplayer experience...I would imagine positive word of mouth could drive future pre-order numbers.

Poor inFamous? What!? It has nearly double the number of preorders that Uncharted 2 had at 7 weeks. (U2 had 36k preorders)


But Uncharted had a 188% increase from preorders in week 1 sales. Not many games get that. Or even half that for the matter. By the way Uncharted 3 made the list despite being 28 weeks away from now!



Good to see BF3 and UC3 finally show up

Gears 3 is the gonna front loaded as fuck thats about it.people going crazy over these numbers just means its gonna have shitty legs. its still gonna outsell everything except CoD and halo but dont get crazy folks.

and infamous 2 will be alright, sony games have these things called legs.



Wow @ Gears 3!

Seeing ME3 on that list makes me so very happy!

 

Anyways here's the Gears 3 vs Halo Reach comparison.

I hate to break it to you but games that are really frontloaded tend to have great legs as well...look at any of the COD's after COD3, Halo 3 and Halo Reach for proof.



When will the Halo Remake hit the top 20?
