MLB might just get iver 100k pre-orders next week! Wolfenstein seems to be very slow tho :/ maybe it picks up next week as the new gameplay trailer was released a few says ago.

Good week for MK8, though the next week will be the most interesting, the Direct and the bundle should have a good effect on pre-orders. Now the question is, if it can get more preorders than MK7, or if it can atleast leave a small difference in pre-orders, seeing how this one has a bundle. The following weeks will indeed be some interesting ones...



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

I doubt I've ever seen a Nintendo title do well in pre-orders, MK8 seems to be the exception.
I reckon it will be at 6th/5th place next week.

Go Mario Kart! You are our third last hope!! Carry the wiiU to the finish line of being undoomed!

The console needs momentum, not just MK8. Nintendo should announce a release date for their next game alredy, I have the feeling it will be Bayonetta 2 on August, but a confirmation would be a good idea, that way more people that are on the fence willjump to grab the Wii U. They should also release the retail version of NES Remix 1+2 on America on July to close the gap if my prediction is correct.

Well... One would think they are saving the release dates for e3 which is like what? 10-12 days after MK8 gets released? And if its a good one, which it looks to be considering what they are doing such as a smash tournament and that treehouse thing as well as a "digital event." So hopefully, 2014 will boost the wiiU's sales by a lot to maybe get it over the sales of the gamecube by the end of its life

I wonder if The Shows alleged increase in pre-orders over the last 2 years games will also lead to similarly higher first week sales, I kinda doubt it.

MK8 gives up its lead over MK7.

Strange that Destiny got more preorders on X1 than PS4 this week.

It has several other weeks as well. In this case I think maybe it was that longtime Bungie fans on Xbox were more likely to look past the boring gameplay in the demo that released recently and actually preorder the game, lol 

Maybe, didn't watch any of the videos myself as it doesn't really interest me at this point.  Perhaps the gap will start to widen a bit more when the exclsuive advertising kicks in.  It's looking pretty huge overall though

I find it alot stranger that out of all the games on the list Elder Scrolls Online is the only one that has more pre-orders on X1 than on PS4, seems like PS fans just don't trust Bethesda to make a functioning RPG on their console. :D

Kingdom Hearts III already has a decent amout of points, just imagine how many it wil have by when it's released in 2016-17XD
