I'm usually not one to talk about sales or pre-orders and whatnot.

But given the circumstance that Diablo III, even at the best of chances, will only come out next year, it's appearance near the Top 10 in that list truly amazes me.

Could Diablo III, at least, reach half the number of pre-orders that Starcraft II had? That would be amazing for one of the best RPG, heck why not one of the best gaming series ever

Diablo is pretty much as popular as Starcraft in Americas so I wouldn't surprise to see the same kind of pre-orders.

Wow at Gears 3 it actually had more pre orders than Killzone 3 considering it's almost a year away that is pretty impressive. Killzone 3 doesn't seems to be doing too well seems like my prediction might come true it probably wont outsell Killzone 2 unless they heavily bundle it.

Why do people keep saying this. Gears of War 2 sold OVER THREE TIMES as much as Killzone 2 in America. And Gears was slated as an April release.

That is all.

Yeah but Gears 3 is releasing in the 2011 holidays while Killzone 3 is releasing in 7 weeks I just thought it would do better as it's release date came closer and it does have hype as well. Plus Killzone isn't exactly a small franchise I'm not expecting it to do 5 million plus I'm just surprised a game that is a little under a year away has more pre orders than a game that has 7 weeks left until release and has some pretty big hype from it's fans. Yeah I know it's Gears but still it's not like we are comparing Gears to Bullestrom a new IP Killzone is pretty well established franchise by now.

Has the new series started in America or something? That's a HUGE increase for the Week, with so long left!

Release date was announced recently.

In regards to killzone- don't expect it start picking up until LBP and DC universe are out of the way.

Time for hype

Oh here in Europe it is as well. Heck, most of my college colleagues still play LOD frequently, especially after the big changes made by 1.13a.

I just hope Blizzard starts releasing more info. Not that the latests classes info wasn't good, but it still feels like we're in the dark about lots of aspects in Diablo III.
