How would Uncharted 2's sales be if we only took into consideration the preorder numbers three months before release?


Quote for truth. It's pointless to speculate on preorder numbers this early.


Actually... using my method the pre-order numbers would have been closer to 150k for U2. It ended up with less then 300k. Then if you use my method for the weekly rises then pre-orders would have been closer to 200k... So I wouldn't have been terribly off. You also forget this was before U2 got 38 perfect scores on metacritic. Which could be reasoning for the extra amount of pre-orders U2 got... U2 was one of the biggest leaps of quality... The first one wasn't AAA according to metacritic... FF13 is coming from a family of AAA games. People who like these games wouldn't have the "wait and see" approch that U2 had. It's pretty much given FF13 will be 90+ and if not expect pre-orders to only be hurt by that.


Actually... I wouldn't have been off at all... lol. I'm giving FF13 an extra 150k too. So U2 break down. It had 50k 9 weeks before launch. 10k weekly average. 140k + 150k = 290k... it ended with 297k...
