Forums - Sales - Americas pre-order chart: 16th April 2011

My theory is when VGC overtracks preorders, they don't fix the previous weeks numbers but they adjust the current weeks numbers down the amount they think they overtracked the game by. Mortal Kombat was ridiculously higher on the ps3 than the 360 for americas region which is why they only put down 4k for this week. They think they overtracked the ps3 version not undertracked the 360 version.

The same thing happened with bulletstorm for the 360. Initially it was heavily overtracked so its last two weeks they made it only gained 2k a week.

As for portal 2 sales that makes sense as well. Anyone who thinks the ps3 version will outsell the 360 version in americas is crazy. Its preorders started catching up simply because of the exclusive content. Similar to madden nfl 2011. Exclusive content/promotion helped preorders stay very close, but in the end the 360 version outsold the ps3 version by 400k in america.

That makes sense.

3k1 week before release? This ISNT really right!

 

EDIT: Oh, now i saw what he said.



When does the Gears 3 beta start?

Okay so MK for PS3 got 4k. La noir got 6 times the preorders this week when LA noir just released some really cool exclusive stuff the same week. Socom reduced in sales as well. Portal 2 was having higher weekly preoders on the PS3 version and it suddenly got a bigger boost than the PS3 version. I have to say VGC does a good job at making faulty preorders especially this week.



Zelda doing fine... no release date, nothing new in months, and still 105k... Sounds good...

Some of these numbers don't make any sense, I agree but Sony fans should be worried about Uncharted 3, or lack thereof.
