Forums - Sales - Americas Pre-Order Chart(09th Oct 2010)omg Fable

I really don't get the GT5 dissapointment.  I mean we're mostly comparing it to other games we already have pre-order numbers for at least one previous title, so possible trends for current games in those series are able to be predicted.  But as far as I know, we don't have pre-order numbers for previous GT games, so we don't know what a normal pre-order to first week SW ratio is for the series.  Plus, we have yet to see what affect, if any, the ad campaign (which should really kick off in the next week or two) will have on these numbers.

Halo: Reach finally surpasses Black Ops Pre-orders at the same time, and Black Ops (360) appears to be gaining pre-orders at a weaker pace then MW2 and Halo. I don't think it will open as well or sell as well as those two franchises. The PS3 version may fair well however.

However to be fair, Forza Motorsport 3 was only announced like 5 months before it released. Some of these GT pre-orders are probably years old. I bet you Forza weekly american weekly pre-orders from now on will match, if not surpass GT5 pre-orders. That said I expect GT5 to get 250-275k pre-orders, and have a 500k opening week in Americas, probably 1-1.2 million worldwide.

  • Medal of Honor (PS3) - 51,790
  • CoD: Black Ops (PS3) - 50,379

    Cool, I can throw the comment "giant pile of dog shit" around at will without the fear of the ban? That's awesome! Hey is the deal still on if I add "steamy" in there?

    throw it on GTA4, Oblivion or any FF game after 7 and I guarantee you won't get banned.

    So can we get a whole list of what and what not to Call a, "giant pile of dog shit".

    I would be excited for fable if the series was more than a giant pile of dog shit.

    Is sony advertising GT5 yet?


    Leave the troll comments to another thread.

    Thats his opinion though, Wagram doesn't hate things for no reason, I can attest to that. He has valid reasons for disliking Fable 1.


    That's great logic. Why can't I call the PS3 or Wii a "giant pile of dog shit" then by that logic? After all, I may have valid reasons for feeling that way. Wagram has a knack for making exaggerated statements and never backing them up anyway, but even if he did, it doesn't mean it's ok. You know as well as I do that if somebody made the same statement with one of the consoles, they should be banned and rightly so. The same should be true for games. If I call the entire Final Fantasy series "a giant pile of dog shit" I should be banned. There's no place on this site for such nonsense.

    People have done that for years on here and haven't been banned.

    People have called {Insert popular multiplatform game here} a pile of dog shit (or any other equal insult) on here many many times and haven't been banned 

    If people were banned for those things then perhaps Wagram should be, but they weren't so why should he be banned for trolling? 

    you can PM him for his reasons or ask him on his wall....they are valid and I don't think he wanted to write paragraphs about it here.

    I find it hilarious that you're sticking up for blatant trolling. I'll log this away and will feel free to troll any thread containing games I don't like with "Franchise X is a pile of dog shit!"

    Let's recap here.

    A) The comment is off topic. The quality of a game is irrelevant to the sales forum.

    B) The comment is flamebait. I don't see how you can deny this. The only reason it was made was to make someone angry. (Mission accomplished)

    C) The game isn't multiplatform, so your point is pretty moot.

    I've seen vlad repeatedly banned for trolling Halo, so stop pretending like it hasn't happened.

    A) He made the commen in disagreement towards Fable 3 pre-orders.....Fable is even in the thread title. I have seen people say, "HOW IS that POS Game selling so well" so many times on the forums.....we never ban them do we? No we don't.

    B) Wagram isn't a flamebaiter, I know him better than you do, he was just giving you his opinion.

    C) So we can ban people who insult exclusives but multiplat games can be insulted freely? Thats a problem then.

    I am pretty sure vlad was banned for being a PC elitist.

    I'm not supporting blatant flamebait because I know his reasons for not liking it and he never flamebaits on purpose. I just don't understand why you wanna ban him without listening to his justification.


    A) How is that denying it's off topic?

    C) You're the one who made the multiplatform distinction, I pointed out that Fable wasn't.

    It's irrelevant here whether something's done on purpose. We're not mind readers, nor should we try to be. I don't need to hear any opinions to tell me that that kind of comment is trolling, but feel free to pretend like it isn't.



    themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

    When did the fable series become this popular? O_o



    I live for the burn...and the sting of pleasure...
    I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...

    - Wasteland - The Mission.

    Fable 3 doing very good and yes! at black ops(360) falling behind halo reach's numbers 



    oh, God Of War:Ghost Of Sparta in the top 30!
