Nah ive been taking preorders and it isnt reflective of real world hype, last of us did get a modest boost but halo hasexploded since its demo


Yes but people know what to expect with halo. You have one game play demo and no release date. Don't know why you expect peoople to walk in a make preoreders, and we already know preorders don't tell the full story.

Are you saying this because of pre-orders? Because new IPs typically have low openings and even lower pre-orders, espescially with possibly 1 year+ away from release. And with no release date.

So it's below uncharted pre orders at their respective timelines?

Just trying to get a picture of what numbers they'll be when its released. I know I should look it up, but what percentage does gamestop hold for the whole us preorder market, in general?

Not surprised about Halo, it is the 360's largest exclusive franchise, I'd be shocked if it didn't do fantastic numbers.



Im expecting it to do less than Uncharted because its an M rated title with Zero mass appeal should do pretty good with the core though

Dobut it again... If anything this well sell more than uncharted. You have millions of uncharted fans looking at this, and now eveyone is itching for it. Don't down play it.

It's an M rated game so it won't do gigantic numbers. But it will be most probably the best game of this year.

And ill even add i expect it to move few consoles and possibly do up to 3.5 million LT if everything goes perfectly for it, though probably closer to 2.5 still ver respectable for an M rated new IP this late in the generation



I'm super hyped for this game. It stole the show. Can't wait. To bad we are looking at a post 2012 release date.

It has zombies. It has appeal.
