Preorder chartz before sales chartz... doomed.



Around the Network

Really good Donkey Kong numbers (82k( with 4 weeks to go. SM3DW was only at 96.000 with 1 week to go, and picked up just half of its preorders in the last 2 weeks before it came out. Considering SM3DW has sold about 760,000 in North America with only 96k pre-orders, I think it is safe to say that there is more excitement around the new Donkey Kong then there was with the new Mario.

The Infamous number is very good, the question now will be how many they can sell beyond that pre-order number. Gran Turismo 6 had 243k USA pre-orders and has only sold 300k in all of North America. Killzone Shadow Fall had 303k pre-orders, and has sold 460k total in North America. I could easily see Infamous picking up 300k pre-orders and then go on to only sell another 150k on top of that. It really needs to be a good game. If it comes out an gets 9's by all the reviewers it could be a huge hit, but if it gets mediocre reviews like GT6 and Killzone, I don't think it will sell much more then the number of pre-orders it has.



Funny how thief on xbox one surpassed the ps4 version. About a month ago the ps4 version was like 20,000 ahead. Titan fall will probably surpass destiny on ps4 next week. Only 5,000 difference.



Titanfall should be number 1 next week.



Destiny is going to be huge. I can't wait. Biggest new IP of 2014?

JRPGs are doing well. I like that. Japan, here is your market for those types of games.

Infamous may overtake Destiny(X1) next week

The Order: 1886 finally reaches 100k even without any gameplay being shown.

Driveclub moving a bit slow but i hope Evolution get with the program and stop being so damn "ify". We have a release date for DriveClub but Evolution is so fucking "ify" that i'm not sure if that's the release date.

Evolution also needs to release another trailer that showcases some of that new gameplay.



TF beta should help launch the numbers to astronomical levels. Looking forward to it.
