You really shouldn't do a ratio between America's pre-orders and WW week 1 sales because there's no record of pre-orders for the rest of the world, which means the ratio is distorted and doesn't truly reflect the pre-order to Week 1 sales sell through.

For instance Madden's ratio looks like crap compared to Mafia II's. But in the America pre-orders vs America week 1 ratio Madden's ratio is better than Mafia II's. Clearly Mafia II had reasonable pre-orders in other countries, whereas Madden probably had almost none.

Well until we get European pre-orders and whatnot this is the best I can do.
