I asked this thread to be locked because its in the wrong forum (and I want to get this tagged once I get enough work into it)  So look for my new thread in the sales discussion.

I thought it would be interesting to see what the ratios for pre-orders vs first week worldwide sales would be.  This way we can look at past titles on each system and have a better idea of what future titles may do in their first week.

Every week i will be updating as new games release.

August 28th

Mafia II (sandbox)

September

Past releases by month.

If you have any idea how I can make this thread better be sure to let me know.

So I guess i'm the only one who thinks this is interesting

It would been more interesting if you included more than 1 game. Why not go back a few months? Pre-order charts are still available and so are 1st week charts for pretty much every game.

Ugh so much work lol......I guess I should go back a couple months.

I will update it within the next 24 hours.

the pre orders are america only, you could put the america sales in between the pre orders and ww1week number of sales. Better to measure the impact of the pre orders.

Locking at op's request; see root post.
