This preorder chart is the biggest BS I have seen!!!!!!!
Rage beating out RE3!! That is complete BS!
Halo CE never made the list as yet but Rage did????
BF3 beating out MW3 PS3!!! VGC needs to use some common sense now. If they think that the 360 version of BF3 can even get near the PS3 version in any part of the world they need to consult a doctor right now!
Skyrim beating out games like Uncharted 3, AC and it's getting more preorders than MW3 (PS3) sounds way too crazy!
Last time I checked Uncharted was bigger than AC 2 on 360. And then again why does it have more preorders than MW3(PS3)
Mass Effect 3 didn't make 3 million it died due to having bad legs I don't think that many people are interested in Mass Effect 3. Despite having good hype and critical acclaim Mass Effect 2 couldn't sell that well.
I can't believe the preorder chart could be this inaccurate. Modern Warfare 3 hardly getting preorders on the PS3 version seems to fake. I would think the PS3 version of MW3 could easily outsell Skyrim(360) and Battlefield 3(360) each by a ratio of 2:1. While Uncharted 3 will be able to outsell every game this holidays except Battlefield 3 (360) and Modern Warfare 3( both versions)

Some of your points I agree with (mostly those involving MW3 and Halo: CEmake). These I do not:
- Rage beating out Resistance 3 sounds very likely to me. Resistance is not a big seller at all, particularly in America, where Resistance 2 only had a 240k opening week. The comparison plays heavily in the 360's favour: shooters, in America. Seems reasonable for it to be ahead to me.
- Skyrim (360) could certainly come close to Uncharted 3 and Revelation launch weeks in Americas. It being ahead in pre-orders at this stage isn't that shocking at all.
- "Last time I checked Uncharted was bigger than AC 2 on 360." Barely worldwide and certainly NOT in America, which is what these pre-order figures are for (Assassin's Creed 2 (360) - 1.93, Uncharted 2 (PS3) - 1.11).
- "While Uncharted 3 will be able to outsell every game this holidays except Battlefield 3 (360) and Modern Warfare 3( both versions)." No, it won't. Again, this is JUST Americas, not worldwide. Some opening week comparisons:
Uncharted 2 - 417k
Brotherhood - 572k
Oblivion - 259k
Fallout 3 (more indicative for Skyrim I imagine) - 469k
Halo 3: ODST - 1.67 million
But mainly, I think the problem is you're assuming that pre-order figures this far out are a statement of what first week figures these games are going to pull, and that's either a misrepresentation or misunderstanding on your part.

Belive me Uncharted has gotten a lot bigger! Uncharted 2 started off with 417k and ended up with 2.42 million pretty in 1 and a half year. That's almost 6 times greater than it's launch week. And the preorder increase from UC2 to the launch week was 188%. The biggest increase in preorders in the 2009-2010 year. Uncharted is a growing series AC isn't.
