BF3 gains a lot more Pre orders...thought it would go down. Activision have to seriously worry about BF3 because it does have huge Numbers. MW3 numbers are as expected. Batman is set for 1Mil+ first week easily maybe 1.5-2M by the end of october.

Uncharterd 3 a bit too slow for my liking, SS is going at a steady pace should sell close to 1Mil first week in US alone.

Most impressive game on that list has to be the 360 version of Skyrim..that game will do massive numbers first week, possibly 2M-2.5M First week worldwide.

Amazing Arkham City numbers.



Blood_Tears on 10 October 2011

Batman doing great, UC3 keeps added them up at good level, but the Subway promo/ with commercial did nothing to add pre-orders.

Batman's going nuts! Excellent.

Battlefield 3 is overhyped

I stil think the numbers are low. Not even 300k and Uncharted 2 sold 400k+ first week. Of course these numbers aren't 100% accurate but it would be a dissapointment if it only did UC2 numbers.Sequel to the 09 GOTY i think should do WAY more. Maybe the Europe sales will be bigger this time around. A game of Uncharted's calibur should be doing a lot more. Especially considering how critically acclaimed the 2nd was(first one wasn't as big).

Hmph.

Uncharted 2 ended with 189k preorders.

Uncharted 3 currently sits at 284k preorders with 4 weeks left.

It should finish with around 350-360k preorders with is almost double than what U2 had.

UC2 also had the amazing reviews to boost launch sales, even still i can't see UC3 doing what? 600-700k first week in NA if you apply the same pattern. And it's not just the amount total but amount per week...it's much lower than any of the other games despite closer to launch.

Who says UC3 won't be getting amazing reviews?

If it does 1M+ WW,then I'm pleased.As should ND be.

I am amazed how BF3 360 continues to dominate the PS3 version despite the pro PS3 propaganda.

Elder scrolls 360 over MW3 ps3 made me lol

Uncharted 3 having more preorders then 2, but I see Halo anniversary will still have a bigger opening in November.
