Playstation owning the top 5!

Dat PS4 domination.

Halo 5 is doing very well considering we only have a teaser and a few gameplay videos. Some people thought it was coming out this year though so numbers may be a little inflated.

The Order may be an accidental success.

compared to 52k on the PS4. I can see why that stereotype exists. 

Batman is going to be huge.

A small Uncharted 3 vs Uncharted 4 comparison

Uncharted 3 reach Uncharted 4 pre-order 28 day before it's release

 There is a caveat to this.  Japanese devs supported the X360 in Japan but there were multiple instances where companies suffered from lackluster sales.  The reason is because it still costs money to support a platform, to pay developers and to promote your project.  Unless Microsoft is subsidizing costs, you may not be able to recoup.  Therefore supporting the more popular PlayStation makes business sense.   Microsoft understood this with the 360 but this gen, they seem MIA in Japan. 

While some may see it as futile, I believe that Microsoft just didn't have enough time to build an exclusive Japanese catalog for the launch there; and in the face of incredible competition in the US, where the dominance is being challanged, opted to through their largest effort into the West.

Yeah if only Square would bring those HD remasters to Xbox. 

Come on USA, show Bloodborne a bit more love. I'm disappointed that this isn't a lot closer to The Order in pre-order numbers, but I guess it's to be expected.

It's going to be a difficult decision-making process next year with Bloodborne, The Order and the Witcher 3 all vying for my dollars. There can be only one; at least in the first instance.

Arkham Knight (at least on PS4) has an impressive number with no release date.
