Great to see Catherine make it on the chart, now I only have to bother Brett to find out the 360 numbers. looks to be at least somewhat in line with Persona 4 as far as first week sales go, after that we'll just have to see if it has similar legs. Gonna go pick up my copy in about an hour.

Gears of war slows.... and apparently Halo CE looks like a bomb at this rate.

Its out in 15 weeks isnt it?

A bomb 15 weeks from launch? Man, we have high standards now lol.  It'll probably appear next week and start killing it.



Of course, Elder scrolls, Assasin Creed and Battlefield franchise are all bigger than Uncharted in terms of polularity

Of course they are all multi-platform games

Elder scrolls IV Oblivion sold 7 million copies across 3 platforms, Battlefield bad company 2 sold 7.5 million copies and Assasin Creed 2 sold 9 million Brotherhood sold 7.5 million

Uncharted 2 made 4.6 million copies which include those bundles

Mass effect 2 sold around 3 million on consoles

Uncharted 2 sold more than Mass effect 2 but this doesn't make Uncharted 3 will sell more than Mass effect 3

Looks the preorder chart of EB GAMES, Unchared 3 is far behind



Oh wow Catherine made the list, hope that translates to a great opening week



Happy to see xbox 360 games up there.

I don't see Uncharted 3 is that big in terms of preorders



UNCHARTED 3 AND AC:R PS3 VISION are really disappointing

Uncharted 3 above Gears of War 3? I don't know how you can trust such a list.

Then again the Uncharted franchise is just as big as the Gears of War franchise in EMEAA territories.
