LBP2 will sell as much in america alone  what LBP1 did WW!

And ppl still going on and on about KZ3 and gears america pre-order difference?

where were those comments from the same ppl when GT5 pre-orders are massively out performing forza?


This isn't a KZ3 vs Gears 3 thread or a Forza vs GT5 thread.

It doesn't change the fact that KZ3's pre-orders at this point are pretty poor.  Especially considering this is for America the country that buys the most FPS's.  I'm beyond stoked for the game but that doesn't change the fact it doesn't look very impressive sales wise so far.

Also Mass Effect 2 on PS3 may well be flop of the year.  I'm usually all for multiplats but Mass Effect appears to have been a bad choice to port. 

Well, it's always a bad choice to port a game and release it one year later on another platform. Mass Effect 2 will be in a similar situation as Bioshock, I guess. Possibly very low sales at launch, then picking up steam a little when it's cheaper. I wouldn't expect any wonders though.

If I didn't have it already on 360, I would buy it day one on PS3. But I'll probably also get it on PS3 when its' price goes down.

Yeah I agree the late port was an awful idea and if anything it should have been launched on both systems at the same time.

But you would think more PS3 only owners would want to know what all the hype was about plus it comes with all the DLC already on disc which is great.  Mass Effect is an amazing franchise and it deserves way higher sales than the epic flop it appears its going to be.

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

Well, it's not entirely outside the realm of possibilty for D3 to be released this year. But most likely, yes, 2012 release. That in mind, amazing pre-order numbers =)

D3 is the only game on that list I'm buying new.

P.S. Hi again after months of silence. I was busy playing Guild Wars =)

Based off the pre-order chart it looks like Pokemon pre-orders just got a hard on. xD

They aren't that stupid to pay full price for game that hits bargain bin regularly for several months already on X360/PC.

I love how you always assume that if someone has something negative to say about your beloved console it automatically indicates that you must bring a counter argument to the table, ie Forza vs GT5 in this case. No one cares, it was a comparison, get over it.

@numbers, wth with the pokemon. I swear 8 years ago it was popular with playing cards and yet it's still sells like a beast so many years later on, it's just an unbelieveable and undying franchise.

P.S Those DC universe numbers don't look too bad for a sort-of-new game type. Will be interesting to see whether legs will pan out, I think a few people complained that it's a tad bit easy to max your character, so legs will be interesting.

Problably, although there is still a Layton title to come here.



Above: still the best game of the year.
