KZ3 pre orders are absolutely terrible. I've been anxious to see this pre order chart for days thinking KZ3 would have a huge jump, and it was all for nothing. I don't understand this. I know Amazon isn't an exact representation of the world, but KZ3 moved into the top 20-30 (for most purchased video game items) like 2-2.5 weeks ago, and moved up to within about the top 10 for at least the past week (now at #6). Yet, VG chartz's KZ3 weekly pre order numbers have stayed practically the same the last 2 weeks as they were 3  weeks ago and before when KZ3 wasn't even in the top 100. So, either EMEAA/Japan (Japan, ha!) are the sole reason for all the KZ3 sales, or VG chartz pre order numbers are wrong.

Regardless, KZ3 sales still look to be really bad. U.S. PS3 owners irritate me with their lack of support of PS3's great exclusives.

Can I ask why?  To me pre Western release it looks like the most original mainline Pokemon RPG since the original.

KS3 numbers are disapointing and I hope they increase soon

Yer exactly. This is the most hyped I've been for a pokemon game since the Gold/Silver

1.6m looks likely and 1.75m's a possibility for pre-orders. I see no reason why this should have a substantially smaller pre-order to sale ratio in America than in Japan (I'd expect larger, really) so I'm betting on a 2.5m FW for Pokemon BW.

a slight increase in pre-orders for killzone, i hope it beats bulletstorm in americas first week.

What were pre-order levels in Japan before Black/White's release again? Did it really end up at 1.5m there or it increased?

whats up with Killzone 3...did Sony advertise this in the US now or what?dont look like it...

KZ3 will do fine. Not sure about americas but in emea it will do better than kz2.

Bulletstorm will do at least, 3 times better in 360 than in ps3 in americas. In emea about he same or little better.

Well I figured since the numbers are lower for Killzone 3 in Americas they must be lower in EMEAA as well.

You were foolish to EVER DOUBT THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF POKEMON!
