I am not shocked because I believe it's an over-tracked number for sure. There's no hype at all for MAG, I refuse to believe there's 80k pre-orders. It would deserve that though, cos MAG is an excellent game but it just wont sell very well with no marketing and hype.

And you know there's no hype for MAG...how?

Because I haven't detected much hype for it on the internet.

Plus many Sony fans her on VGC have proclaimed that they're not interested in a game with such a mess on a big battlefield.

Well, indisputable evidence then. Sorry I ever doubted ya.

he is right though, just show me people getting crazy over MAG.

I have my doubts as well considering those numbers. Established franchises like Mass Effect, God of War, Splinter Cell or Bioshock have not as many preorder as MAG...? Furthermore MAG seems to be more niche, it is only for online gaming. I guess we will have to see. Seems strange anyway.

As known by now, what is on the interent does not reflect real world views. Not everyone on the internet has access to the beta. Not everyone on the internet is crazy about MAG. So what?

Also, other games from different genres mean nothing here, as MAG has not only a beta, but is in a different genre from every game you mentioned, except for Bioshock, which in reality isn't like MAG either.

I think you misunderstood all this hype thing. ^^

On the internetz a lot of videogames are getting hyped. That does not reflect the real world. The case that games are getting hyped in the real world but not on the internetz is VERY rare. This could be for casual games like Wii titles or rockband etc etc. but certainly NOT for a online only fps. Thats why I have my doubts.

And it is not important that the games I mentioned are from different genres. They all have less preorders than MAG even though being sequels to established franchises.
