Seece said: Euphoria14 said: I too want to know Dark Souls 360 numbers. I ended up getting (2) 360 owners at my job to preorder it last week. Trunk says 79k, not bad I guess.

79k is awesome, more than I expected to be honest. Now it is looking to be ~300k or more FW in Americas right? With the JPN launch the game will hit ~500k or more in just 2 of the major territories.

I am glad that thus far it seems the 360 community is set to embrace such a magnificent albeit punishing title. I hope my friends at work end up loving it as much as I will.

It truly is a game where you get so pissed that you will toss your controller, only to find yourself then walking over, picking it up and playing again, lol.

No more than 360 .. COD this week is both roughly 50% more than Battlefield on both platforms.

But the 360 version of MW3 is like 3 weeks ahead of Black Ops.

PS3 version of MW3 is almost equal to Black Ops. It might even fall behind if pre-orders don't pick up.(this is why I said some PS3 owners might be choosing BF3 over MW3)

These are some massive pre order numbers. Compare this year to last year.

2010 October 2nd the top 8 had 200k pre orders or more

2011 October 1st the top 15 have 200k pre orders or more

This must be a huge year for software purchases. This makes it seem like current console owners/gamers are more active this year.

MW3 X360 having very big gains. It's looking more and more that it has a good shot of having 2.5 million pre orders if pre orders keep rising at the rate they did for black ops. The shooting genre I would say seems at its highest ever.

Battlefield 3 X360 putting up some very impressive pre order numbers for EA. It obviously however is not doing much of anything to take purchases away from Activision's COD title. I think all their bad mouthing of Call of Duty has boosted sales for Call of Duty. Backfire.

Skyrim numbers are amazing. I am really looking forward to this!

Other big pre order boosts this week coming from Batman AC and Halo CEA. Looks like Halo CEA may possibly beat ODST in pre orders.

Im really glad to see Forza 4 at 163K pre orders but I was hoping for more at this point with only 2 weeks left until release. Here is how its doing in comparison with Forza 3.

Forza 3
Octber 17th 2009 with 2 weeks left until release: Added 18,364 for a total of 112,406.

Forza 4
October 1st 2011 with 2 weeks left until release: Added 12,768 for a total of 163,352. Pretty good numbers but I was hoping it would be more when thinking of how long the Forza brand name has been on the market.

Yes, there are more X360s in use now than in October 2009, but it still shows me that the Forza franchise does not seem to be growing much at all from when Forza 3 came out. Or could it be that Racing games just are not as popular anymore?

Simply amazing Dark Souls numbers. It has already owned Demon's Souls completely in Japan.

DS numbers are great. For such a hardcore game.i don't think we'll see massive sales. But that's expected.

Nice numbers overall im glad for dark souls.

So glad Skyrim and Uncharted 3 are doing well, despite being against BF3 and MW3. Forza 4 is a little disappointing though. I don't think it'll even be close to GT5 if its this low in its home country.

I wonder how many BF3 pre-orders were cancelled after how terrible the beta was lol.

I aim to please ^_^

BTW regarding pre-orders, I was at my local Gamestop to pick up Rage and there were more people there that picked up Dark Souls than Rage which really surprised me. And the PS3 version of Dark Souls had twice as many people picking it up.
