The Order will reach at least 700k globally,

There is no point in comparing spots with previous periods. The consoles are also charting lower, yet we don't know if they are selling less. Remember, #10 can mean one number or it can mean an entirely different number. It's all contextual.
Gift cards already did well last year but with a continuous incrase in userbase they'll keep selling more and more, thus occupying a good chunk of the top, and pushing other items down.

This is why they really need to use that money for their own games and should have been doing that from the beginning.

That's why with guessing at numbers you need a numerical chart for comparison. Which is why I brought in the VGC pre-order chart. You can theoretically fairly reliably pick rough launch week numbers across time periods for similar games. If pre-orders of game A end up X% of game B, which is similar and launched a year ago, then launch week of game A should also be close to X% of game B. Very early generation things might be a bit different because there are fewer people available to walk in and buy a game unpre-ordered. But stil if the pre-order difference is large enough then that sort of thing shouldn;t have too much of an inflating effect for the later launched game.

Unless VGC is way off base with hardware, then we do have somewhat of a benchmark for numbers. We know where PS4 and Xb one are sitting in the best sellers, and we have an estimate for the actual sales of those consoles. So that gives us the ability to reasonably guess that position 18 on this week's Amazon chart represents lower absolute numbers than position 2 on the best seller chart for the first week of March 2014. Because it seems that PS4 sales for early 2015 are a fair bit lower than they were for early 2014, and PS4's position on the Amazon best seller chart is somewhat lower in 2015 compared to 2014. So to some extent the relative does seem to approximate the absolute.

Also I don't know a single person who owns an Xbox One and all the people who had a 360 bought a PS4.Another person I know just got a PS4 who was a big 360 gamer.

At least it is better than sales would be without exclusive marketing. It's been proven that exclusive marketing makes a difference.

That would be a pretty amazing result. Not sure I have that level of confidence.

Dang, in the last few months the wind has really been taken out of the sails of some of these games. I know Halo 5 fell off of a lot of anticipated games lists after the Master Chief Collection fiasco; and now Evolve, talked about as one of the most anticipated games of 2014/2015 during last summer has become a punchline around the internet. Kinda crazy.

Apparently not enough as the X1 is not making a profit.Exclusive games make a difference,not something that is on both consoles.

I don't think Evolve really had any hype.Valve and PC fans were the only one hyping it until they saw the game play and played the beta.The concept never sounded good from the beginning.
