Forums - Sales - America's Preorder Charts (Week Ending 23rd October)

Doobie_wop on 25 October 2010

I really like Fable, but I have no idea who's pre-ordering the game. The Internet hype is small and according to my anecdotal evidence, no one even knows what a Fable is. Peter must be pre-ordering like crazy.

Smackdown vs Raw bomba....



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Depends. What did GT4's pre-orders in the States look like prior to release? I mean, they can still pull off 500,000 in the US, 500,000 in Japan, and 1.2-1.5 mill in EU for launch.

I wasn't trying to make a statment about what it could do, just what it did this week... Which is sadder than watching my childhood puppy get run over by a semi-truck (as I was driving it!)

Oh you mean that drop in pre-orders because of the delay, sorry I misread it just a bit. I know it's upsetting, but I imagine the situation will change once they finally peg the date.

im not preordering until polyphony announces that it has gone gold.

What? No hype? There is tons of hype for it here, txb, ign, gamepot, even neogaf. No one knows Fable? tell that to the almost 4 million gamers who bought fable 2.

***Listed above is the total preorders after x weeks, not the change per week.  The per console numbers are rounded, and all other numbers are based off of the rounded numbers (Totals and Differences)***
There doesn't seem to be any logical reasons why the PS3 difference is getting closer to zero, however, the 360 version is likely caused from Fable III
Hope the table helps :D


Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Wow Fable 3 is beasting!

And the gap between Black Ops and Halo Reach pre-orders widens again.

Have to think that MS is shipping far more 360 S with Kinect bundles than Kinect standalone.  I wouldnt be surprised if 3-4 to 1.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I would think they make more money that way.

Doobie_wop has a point there hardly is any hype for Fable 3 compare to previous Fable games. Fable 2 had a lot of marketing and  hype prior to it's release. Fable 3 hardly has any at least I haven't seen any commercials for it as for hype it's sorta flying under the radar it's only getting talked about because it's an exclusive and all exclusives get payed attention to no matter what. Anyways I'm happy Fable 3 is going to do well it's my most anticipated game this year.

 

I'm surprised by Kinect Adventure numbers what happened to that 500 million advertising I have litterally seen no advertising for it. But it seems to be doing allright people who usually buy motion controls are most likely not the type to pre order games.

Neogaf only has 690 replies in their official thread and it's pretty much the same 30 people posting. Just to compare, the Goldeneye thread has over 1500 replies and it doesn't release soon. IGN and Gamespot are plastered with Fable 3 marketing, but the actual discussion going on in those sites and their respective podcasts are small. I'm just being observant, I don't care either way, it's just something I've noticed.
