Retail pre-orders will cover the first 3-4 weeks of sales. As you can see from our weekly American pre-orders report, week one in the Americas should come in at around 700k ish...

The thing is,retail pre-orders in the Americas are probably twice as big as they are in Others,if not bigger,am I right?

And that would be why? Just Europe has 200 000 000 more inhabitants than the whole North America, and the gaming market should be similar in size. Then add in all these Others and I'd say 50/50 is more likely.



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Well look at previous GOW titles.

They all sold 2-3 times more in the Americas,and then there is the GOW Collection,which released in the US only.

It's called not tracking sales data... Even today VGChartz has serious problem tracking sales data. My wild guess would be UK, Germany and France covered, rest west european countries a little bit and big fat no-idea of the whole central and eastern europe.

Still,the difference can't be small...not even near.

Well now you can't know that, can you? Look at sales of most PS3 exclusive titles, America vs Others is usually 50/50.

Guys, there's no way that's anything BUT retail preorders. Do you guys really think 7-8% of ALL CANADIANS preordered this game?
