Delicious numbers for God of War Ascension!
Disappointing numbers in Gears of War Judgement.
Bioshock infinite shaping up to be the biggest release in series. Still huge on 360.
Don't really understand luigi numbers without a release date.... I guess a bunch of 5-10 year olds want to preorder.
Last of Us going to be BIG.
Decent numbers for sly cooper. Hopefully it has legs. Same for Ni No Kuni.

Thanks Gil with the fast post :)

You are entitled to your opinion just as I am entitiled to mine. In my opinion, Luigi's Mansion for 3DS is a casual game aimed at casual gamers who are in the 5-10 age range. You disagree, and that's cool. 

Have a good day sir.

Please aknowledge that it is not all opinions that are good. Luigi's Mansion has a powerful and loyal fanbase because the Gamecube iteration was quite a success. That's why its preorders are higher without any release date than the likes of Last of Us and God of War.

That's the point of an opinion is it not? I simply stated what I thought lol. This doesn't need to turn into a Nintendo vs Sony fan fight. 
The bottom line is I think it's preorders are high because, since it's a casual game, most of the ones interested don't know much about release dates. They simply see the game and tell their parents that it looks cool, therefore preordering it. 

Key words: I THINK, MY OPINION
