I give it 5 weeks before black ops 2 is number 1 on the list.



Walkthrublazer3 on 16 July 2012

Those Darksiders 2 numbers aren't looking so hot. I'm pretty sure THQ is going to need some very good sales from this game if they hope to maintain finacial stability.

With only 5 weeks to go, the trend of vgc's preorder numbers being overtracked, and the small increase in preorders each week it looks like the game is going to bomb. ( By HD standards )

Sadly I won't be picking up this game for either the 360 or Wii-U. I never buy a gamey just to support a company. I was mislead into buying the first game due to all the reviews stating it was a zelda clone. The game is actually like 90% God of War/Prince of Persia/Devil May Cry clone. THe only thing zelda about it is the fact that you go to dungeons and collect special items, some of the puzzles are zelda like but most of them are puzzles like in God of War of Prince of Persia.

The game is good but it's no zelda clone and I was extremely dissapointed by this fact.



I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!

469,253 pre-orders 17 weeks away from release is dissapointing? It's currently still more (Although the last week probably) than the highest pre-ordered game we have on record was, how is that dissapointing?

Who are you? What have you done with yo_john117? Begone demon spawn!



Jay520 on 16 July 2012

What is is up with these Hitman numbers? I like the total, but I don't the minuscule weekly increases. This makes me sad. )-:

Halo 4 is going to be huge. The media blitz hasn't even started yet. Once the live action stuff hits TV and Web in full force it's going to explode. I've already preorded by collector's edition and I'm thinking of getting the Limited Edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 bundle. It will mean I'll end up with two copies, but that's ok with me. I can always sell the icky standard edition or I can use it while my pretty collector's edition sits on my Halo shelf.



Argh_College on 16 July 2012

Halo 4 is doing fine... We know it will do huge in Europe aswell so i see no prob with these numbers.



kopstudent89 on 16 July 2012

wow no NSMB2 numbers yet!
