Oh I hadn't seen that!Why the release date here is January 12th 2016?:O :P

It seems like a popular game. It will, no doubt push merchindise. Not as much as Mario Maker though. Mario Maker, if it takes off, could be as popular as Minecraft. Just think about it.

^ Dude. No. Way.

OT: Impressed by MH. As usual, don't trust these numbers too much, but maybe MH4U could beat MHF3.

Haha now those are some very high expectations. There is one major thing in the way of MM becoming as popular as Minecraft though....it's that it's only on a console with a 9-11m userbase (when MM launches) and Minecraft has sold well over 60m by now.

I just mean it would be a "thing". You know? And the 9m-11m would grow if it was a thing..... Maybe.

Uncharted 3:40,813 preorder 24 week before it's release

The Order can open up anywhere from 300 - 500k in NA.

Then just say it could become very popular instead of saying it could match Minecraft. That's the highest bar you can set pretty much.

Also, I doubt MM can push WiiU much. Seems like a niche thing so far, honestly. 

Is there a way to look at monthly or yearly pre-order numbers? I see there's a page for weekly totals, but would like to see some numbers at a more macro level. So stoked for Dying Light.

The Order 1886 preorders will halve next week when people catch wind of Eurogamer's magnum opus
