Wonder why that is. Was hoping to see FFXIV PC Pre-Orders and sales #s. But not sure if we will be able too.

FF14 as it is doesn't sell that good in US leave it for PC sales even if an MMO
also we might see its sales if they are good then only and its still alot of time for FF14 to release not like SC2

My guess is a 50-100k launch on PC and PS3 in Americas. Well over 100k in JPN. and EMEAA I have no clue.

PS3 will be tracked
100k might be difficult to enter VGC's list if a PC game

GT5 is doing good for USA.you forgot these charts are good for USA and also that GT5 launch date only got known by people just 2 weeks ago. and just because MW2 became the best selling 360 game doesn't mean HALO reach will as MW2 didn't have other big games coming near its time.
Reach is not tracking on an identical rate like MW2 we don't know if it will follow at the same rate MW2 did GT5 didn't had its release date so don't compare its 35k pre-orders thingy and i didn't set any definition.you are jumping to conclusions.right now REACH has 4:1 preorders now? - how do you mean by it as it is release earlier tooo |
Firstly Halo Reach release date has only recently been announced too thus the whole "it has only been 2 weeks thing" is silly. GT5 has had countless release dates, don't act like it is some new game only just announced. Pre-orders have been accepted for the game for a longtime.
Secondly again with this whole "this is only US" argument, it is getting tiresome. Halo sells in every region, just not Japan. Halo 3 is the biggest selling exclusive this gen in others prooving that. If Reach sells well in US chances are it will sell well in others too.
Thirdly er yes Reach is tracking alongside MW2....Do you think i just said that because i like the sound of it? ilovegiggs has put up every week a comparison between MW2,Reach pre-orders for a longtime. At the 12th week MW2 was had reached 430k pre-orders. This week sees Reach get to that 12 week barrier and is at 390k pre-orders. A difference of 40k. So while at that rate MW2 will outsell Reach for pre-orders it will still see Reach have very high pre-orders, probably around 1.5m. However as pointed out by others in the other pre-orders thread MW2 pre-orders at this week were at a busy time for games. As Reach goes a long it will cross that period towards it's release. Meaning we will see huge jump in pre-orders around august.
Fourthly Reach is at a 4 to 1 ratio over GT5 because it's total is nearly 400k compared to GT5's 100k. When Reach was at the 17th mark as pointed out it was at 35k a week and had 240k pre-orders. For the same period GT5 is at 88k. A big difference.
And i am not the person who said GT5 is going to sell 12m and break all these records. If GT5 is to get anywhere near those numbers it needs to do well in all regions like it's previous games.

GT5 never had a specific date.even when GT5 was announced for MARCH 2010 no retailer sold on that date as its date was just not confirmend HALO REACH date wasn't recently announced,not as recently as GT5 pre-orders have been accepted but no specific date or year made it insignificant Secondly again with this whole "this is only US" argument, it is getting tiresome. Halo sells in every region, just not Japan. Halo 3 is the biggest selling exclusive this gen in others prooving that. If Reach sells well in US chances are it will sell well in others too. HALO sells everywhere but nowhere near its US sales. and saying that HALO REACH will not be outsold significantly by GT5 in Europe is what is not true Thirdly er yes Reach is tracking alongside MW2....Do you think i just said that because i like the sound of it? ilovegiggs has put up every week a comparison between MW2,Reach pre-orders for a longtime.

Meaning we will see huge jump in pre-orders around august. REACH will still have high pre-orders and nobody knows how much will EACH do close to its release.MW2 had huge increase near its release so will REACH but don't compare it to GT5 the main point and the follow-up could be effected as MW didn't have any real competition as HALO reach has this holiday season Fourthly Reach is at a 4 to 1 ratio over GT5 because it's total is nearly 400k compared to GT5's 100k.

A big difference. again you are jumbling things up here and you are forgetting HALO REACH beta gave REACH alot of boost And i am not the person who said GT5 is going to sell 12m and break all these records. If GT5 is to get anywhere near those numbers it needs to do well in all regions like it's previous games. it needs to do well in all the regions but it can do those numbers in one region too but i am not saying that but still HALO will be outsold the same way or worse as GT5 in USA |
