The demo, everyone is loving it & it has had great user reviews online.

Trust me, the demo will convince more people, its definetely not silly to expect a rise in pre-orders.

I'll just repost my comment from the news article.

After GoW3 comes out GT5 might be the #2 most preordered game. How crazy is that? Impressive numbers for Battlefield 360, will probably pass the PS3 version next week or the week after. Come on Heavy Rain. Maybe if preorders pick up steam in the last couple of weeks we can see 175k-200k opening in Americas. Final Fantasy is really starting to speed up on PS3. It's still a bit early to say how GOW3 will play out but I can easily see it ending with 500k-600k preorders depending on how things play out in the final couple weeks leading up to release. Pokemon is looking to have an absolutely spectacular opening. But then again it's Pokemon, what do you expect?

Heavy Rain preorders alone might break 100k depending on how it picks up steam in the final weeks. It would only need to average 14k per week for the last 2 and a half weeks to hit that so I think 175k is within the realm of possibility for Americas first week.

GoW 3 is ps3 biggest gun this spring

heavy rain isnt doing to bad, i hope god of war 3 starts getting some really big increases each week.

Good point Darth, but I think HR will be a different beast (in terms of pre-orders less than 1st week sales) than MAG.

MAG is just another shooter, Heavy Rain is a new gaming concept to PS3 and curiosty will probably keep those pre-orders.

Many dropped MAG like a snake after the demo + reviews, why not? There are plenty of other shooters.They are not quite any Heavy Rains on PS3....that I am aware of.

I can see GOW3 doing well over 400k pre-orders.

Massive boost for x360 BBC2 and Bioshock.

I hope so too!

I really hope it can have legs due to a great word of mouth, lets hope it can!

Looks like one year later release of Bioshock PS3 is still hurting developer to this day.

But FFXIII numbers seem very low.

Also Red Ded Redemption seems to be major flop candidate

Puh-lease.

That's not why MAG had more pre-orders than sales

Thats good, can't wait to see Bioshock 2's sales.

still no alan wake... weird..

GoW still doing quite well, i expect a big increase when the major marketing hits
