after reading the pre order chart for a few years i think it's meant ot be taken with a grain of salt. I doubt they get numbers from any retailer. Just an educated guess by ioi. 

you can take it either way.

the site has good estimates more than often and it's the only real estimate we have that takes into account of all retailers. 

i appreicate the effort and the charts but the initial estimates have been terrible for the last year. Both software and hardware. They get adjusted after NPD, media create, chart track comes out which makes it appear the numbers have been good. In relaity they are very wide of the mark. 

But it's a one man show and ioi does a better job than 99% of us would do on our own. That's why I don't really agree when people attack the site. It's one man doing this very boring and repetive job. I respect him a lot actually. 

Looks like The Order has stopped dead in its tracks. Marketing seems to be in full swing. Somehow, I have a feeling if they released a demo, pre orders will be cancelled in huge numbers.

Dying Light seems to be doing very well.

Honestly, this is one of the best presented OPs I've ever seen, this is the model that should be followed.

Rather than just copypasting that big mess for the OP, just screencap them, much cleaner looking and takes less space.

And yes, 15k people totally preorded MH4U.

That MM 3d increase.

Majora's Mask 3D keeps doing great!

I think if it can surpass Ocarina of Time 3D's first week (around 440k combined WW). I know VGC pre orders aren't that accurate, but it already shows MM3D with more pre orders on US than OoT3D's first week there (US) with 4 more weeks to go. If true, that's amazing!
