I don't think I will be the last to point out how those Mortal Kombat numbers make absolutely no sense.



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.

I can't believe that MK on PS3 only had 3,845 pre-orders while  the 360 version had 46,121! :O I would of thought Kratos on PS3 and the PS3's D-Pad would of helped extend the gap, but its totally collasped now 0_0

and same for Portal 2! they get a free PC/Mac copy on PS3, and yet it increases pre-orders by 15,000 more on 360 :/

You have to realize though the average gamer (pretty much 80% or more of them) just won't care and will get it for their favorite console....oh and the 360 has the 9 million console advantage in Americas so it really does make sense.

WTF with the PS3 numbers. VGC are you crazy??! How are you getting these PS3 numbers! BTW gears 3 looks overtracked to me the same way they overtracked Gears 2.

even so, some multiplatform games have sold better on PS3 than 360 in America, like Batman AA which also had a PS3 bonus, so I think it is entirely plausible that the PS3 should a large increase in pre-orders
