Sony has a strong core audience in USA it seems. Their big games always get nice pre-orders and sell the exact amount that they get pre-ordred. If a game is AA or AAA Sony owners want it.

This happens with Xbox core games too... However Xbox can sometimes pull in more casual purchases for games that are not preordered. Stuff like Army of 2, Lost planet 2...I wouldn't be surprised if those games double their sales from preorders the first week on 360.

A testament to Microsoft's brilliant marketing campaign IMO.

I think it has more to do with people wanting games but not badly enough to preorder them. Like Borderlands and Operation Flahshpoint. Did anyone think those games would sell as much? They had very low pre-orders. If its coop, and it involves a gun...and not a AAA exclusive, people will pick it up but may not bother pre-ordering it.

Sony owners from what I can tell seem to be more exclusive oriented in NA. There are exceptions obviously with games that are certified Sony franchises form last gen...
