The weekly change for Bioshock Infinite was surprisingly small. Especially for the PS3.

 

For comparison sake, here are the pre orders for some other major games...

Gears of War: Judgment (X360) Microsoft Game Studios, Shooter

78,905

359,328

As you can see, this Gears Judgement had a lower number of pre-orders but a much bigger weekly change. This game had an opening of about 760K.

 

Preorders for GoW:A were a little lower than Judgement but had an opening week of 663K.

God of War: Ascension (PS3) Sony Computer Entertainment, Action

58,775

344,452

 

 

Pre orders for Tomb Raider were significantly lower. But that could be due to a more casual following and a large portion of the sales aren't just from the US.
