Gears is gonna hit 2 million pre-orders!!!

Nice to see Forza 4 make the list.

Zelda picking up big time.

and pretty much every other game on the list doing solid nubers, Halo is realistically slow for a Halo game but still massive for a re-release. I don't know why some people acted like it will sell the same number of units as a mainline Halo, I think it'll be somewhere around ODST numbers.



Around the Network

MW3 pre-orders really jumped after the multiplayer reveal like I said they would.



It appears from the chartz that Gears 3 is going to do much better than Gears 2 on release week. If pre order numbers hold up I wouldn't be surprised if we see a 2.5 million first day and 3 to 3.5 million first week (Possible it could hit 4 million IMO) WW. Gears 3 will by far be the biggest Gears game in sales yet.

MW3 (X360) is beginning to pick up with great pre order numbers, much like a COD game should be expected. I think it will end up beating out Black Ops by a bit. Black ops week one WW was around 5.85. Im putting MW3 around the 6.5 million mark. Possible of hitting 7, but Im skeptical. 

Battlefield 3 (X360) will be a much better seller than Medal of Honor was last year from EA games. I'm expecting first week sales to be between the 2 and 3 million range if these pre order numbers keep going up. Im expecting its sales to reach just under half of MW3 sales, which in and of itself is an achievement for any FPS competator.

Elder Scrolls V will have some big sales on release week. Looks like we are going to see pre orders going higher in most weeks until release.

MW3 (PS3) is a bit surprising for me. It seems that weekly pre orders are somewhat low when compared to Black Ops (PS3). The way its going I would expect MW3 will be even or slightly under Black Ops on release weeks sales. I will guess MW3 (PS3) may be around 4 million on release week WW.

Zelda Skyward Sword got an official release date and it looks like pre orders are really picking up. I think this game is going to have some huge sales on release week.

UC3 having some better pre order sales than UC2. Based on hype Im surprised it isn't getting even more pre orders. I'm sure it will have an impressive release week sales for a PS3 exclusive title.

Halo CEA is not having huge pre orders but still impressive for a remake of the old original. I think it will still have a fairly impressive release week sales for what it offers.

Forza 4 is finally on the pre orders board. I was beginning to wonder about it since it is releasing in just over a month. Looks like pre orders are ahead of Forza 3, but still not close to GT5. I personally thought its pre orders would be doing a bit better but still at least tracking ahead of Forza 3 numbers. It looks like it will be a very impressive racing game.

* That was the very first week of the pre-order chart.

 

It looks like Halo: CEA might not do quite what ODST did.

 

acan you do Forza's?

Yeah I can do that...give me a bit.

Gears 3 has proved a few wrong. (if its accurate).

2m pre-orders US alone incoming... insane!!

In the UK, GAME are giving the Gears launch the COD/Halo treatment, authorising payments early and setting up shipments in good time due to the huge numbers of pre-orders.

Halo is a bit on the slow side... hopefully will pick up a bit. Will still be huge for a re-release.

Forza 4 appears..... Forza 3 was at 114k 5 weeks out and managed 181,845 preorders, Forza 4 should beat thatjust,  hopefully.....(GT5 managed 280k)

Yup, my copy has already been shipped, so I am hoping to get it some time this week....

2m is ridiculously good, though I am quite happy about Uncharted 3's solid 300k pre-orders, and should hopefully be able to make 1m WW launch, which does look a bit pathetic compared to Gears admittedly...

they dont actually ship them... they hold them but just do all the prep unfortunately.  It appears to be shipped.... but isnt.

I know, I am well experienced at pre-ordering from GAME, but I can still hope!

YAY at Zelda!!
O_o at Gears.
>:( At Fifa's high numbers.



Nice boost zelda. Also where is dark souls and ace combat? man they better sell alright I needs a community online for both of them.



Does anyone remember what White Knight Chronicles 1 had for its final preorder numbers? Because looking at WKC 2's numbers....it looks like a bomb to me. I guess that's what happens when you do absolutely NO advertising...

Uncharted 3 numbers looking nice.

Looks like GOW3 will end up just short of Halo's preorders.


Its gonna be a nail biter. It only needs to pull 241K next week. That may sound like a lot but in the last week of sales its doable. I wouldn't count gears out just yet. Most people expected this battle to be over in week 3. 



Zelda is looking better now, 1 millon FW is very possible...
