i dont believe the Uncharted numbers

Why do people expect such a huge increase just because of the beta? Uncharted just doesn't have a huge multiplayer community yet, it is still viewed as an sp game.
everything is doing great even though its all dropping from last week. I think preorder numbers will be much closer to actual first week numbers this year than they were last year for the holiday games.
For example Halo Reach preorders were 2mil for Americas yet it sold 3mil there first week
Black Ops preorders were 1.8mil for Americas yet it sold 4mil there first week.
While if gears of war 3 reaches 2mil preorders I'm betting first week sales will only be around 2.2mil in Americas
and I'm willing to be mw3 preorders will be much closer to actual units sold than last year.
Skyrim will obviously only match or beat its preorder numbers in America by around 100k as every other rpg seems to do for the past year so hopefully it can reach 900k preorders.
I think Uncharted 3 will be able to match God of War 3 in preorders and get around 500k preorders and 800k first week, because even though God of war is tracking ahead of it right now, god of war preorders slowed down considerably its last few weeks while that doesn't happen to titles being released in the holidays.

I doubt that low for Gears, MW is a casual core game so that explains the numbers there, Gears is very much like Halo though in terms of the type of consumer who's going to pre order. I don't think it'll beat Halo, I don't think it'll be 800k off though either.

That can't be more rightly said.

Over 1.5 million in three weeks says hi.

Those numbers aren't automatically going to transfer to preorders. The preorders will pick up closer to release.

I didn't talk about the preorder numbers... just the "doesn't have a huge multiplayer community" because Uncharted have a HUGE MULTIPLAYER COMMUNITY.

I can't edit my posts because I post from my iPad and it also won't let me quote replies, which is why I'm not quoting yours right now.

And the fact that after every Mp beta comes out the preorders do increase. Why not for Uncharted 3! All we see is a decrease! These numbers are really starting to piss me off now
