Forums - Sales - Americas Pre-Order Chart 02nd July 2011

osamanobama on 05 July 2011

about Resistance apparent "flopping"
ioi told me that it will be very hard to track the sales for it that are bundled with the TV.
i dont know how many people are waiting to pre-order it with the TV bundle (i know im one of them, so i havent pre-ordered it yet), but that could be part of the reason.

also once its beta comes out, preorders will spike. i predict it out selling 2 by about .5 million

This preorder chart is the biggest BS I have seen!!!!!!!

Rage beating out RE3!! That is complete BS!

Halo CE never made the list as yet but Rage did????

BF3 beating out MW3 PS3!!! VGC needs to use some common sense now. If they think that the 360 version of BF3 can even get near the PS3 version in any part of the world they need to consult a doctor right now!

Skyrim beating out games like Uncharted 3, AC and it's getting more preorders than MW3 (PS3) sounds way too crazy!

Last time I checked Uncharted was bigger than AC 2 on 360. And then again why does it have more preorders than MW3(PS3)

Mass Effect 3 didn't make 3 million it died due to having bad legs I don't think that many people are interested in Mass Effect 3. Despite having good hype and critical acclaim Mass Effect 2 couldn't sell that well.

I can't believe the preorder chart could be this inaccurate. Modern Warfare 3 hardly getting preorders on the PS3 version seems to fake. I would think the PS3 version of MW3 could easily outsell Skyrim(360) and Battlefield 3(360) each by a ratio of 2:1. While Uncharted 3 will be able to outsell every game this holidays except Battlefield 3 (360) and Modern Warfare 3( both versions)

you need to calm down dude =)

Anyway I'll explain things very quickly.

VGChartz staff themselves have stated quite often that rpgs have much higher preorder to buy ratios than most other genres. That is why Skyrim and Mass Effect 3 have such high preorders. Their first week sales in Americas won't be much higher than the preorders.

Assassins Creed is much bigger than Uncharted in Americas. Remember these are going to be initial sales, not lifetime where uncharted will be able to start catching up due to not having sequels every year. Assassins Creed 2 on the 360 outsold uncharted 2 in americas even though a sequel came out one year later and multiconsole owners could have got the game for the ps3 as well. Yes AC is much bigger than Uncharted 2 in terms of sales.

MW3 for the ps3 is tracking ahead of black ops for the xbox 360 was with 19 weeks left. Its tracking seems perfectly fine if not overtracked. Than again it has seemed like people are more likely to preorder nowadays. The only game I do agree is odd is Battlefield 3 being so high for the 360. Then again maybe all their Call of Duty bashing is getting people's attention.

Okay well I get it for Sykrim and Mass Effect 2. I don't expect big sales for either of them anyways. Battlefield 3... no I think that's over tracked. But as for AC no in Americas thier both around the same. Infact the PS3 version keeps increasing and the 360 version keeps decreasing. AC brotherhood for 360 is at 2.23 million and Uncharted 2 is at 2.42 million. And AC 2 is belwo 3 million in Americas so...

No I think Assassins creed is still the bigger franchise all those sales are mostly on it's own no bundleling. You have to realize Uncharted 2 was one of the most bundled games on the PS3  they where practically given it away for free so that doesn't really count. I honestly can't remember a time when it wasn't bundled. So I do agree with enrage AC is definitely the bigger franchise when you take that into account that UC2 was heavily heavily bundled and ACB I'm  pretty sure it wasn't bundled at all.

Hopefully Halo CE makes it into the top 20 in a couple of weeks.



Try Gamefly for a month and get another one free!

There are just too many great games (I hope they are great) coming out all at once and a lot of them are going to under perform or just completely crash and burn.

To name a few;

Rage,
Deus Ex,
Resistance.

Gears will remain number 1, but if you count both platforms MW3 will surpass it.
