Pre-order charts have never been really accurate so there's really nothing to see here. They are just fun to see because they give you a slight idea as to what it will do first week.
2012 preview is up.

Yep, that last sentence and those games means a huge year for 360 in USA and UK. Plus you have to think a $149 / £99 360 with a bundled game or $199 / £149 with kinect will kill in those markets. I don't think those prices will be far off come the back end of 2012. |
I think that an evitable console annoucement from either SONY or Microsoft, WIiU hype the 360 should logically be down YoY in 2012. Though if it does manage to end up YoY (and assuming PS3 sales don't randomly plumet) then i wonder how Microsoft and SONY will react? It wouldn't make much financial sense to release a new console if the current consoles are increasing YoY or even flat YoY given the current economic climate.

Preorders:
Sales:
Do you seriously believe only 10.000 people bought the game without preordering it? And that preorders amounted for 99% of FW sales... |
Considering that myself and nearly everyone in my guild bought online(DD) for early game access while we were in beta - yes. This is a pc only online mmo after all.
WII Code: 1732 3363 1704 6441

Next game with overtracked pre-orders: Mass Effect 3 ;D. I'm sure you'd mind about that. |
As long as it sells more than ME2 for it's first week (which it will) I'll be happy 
Excellent numbers each one, except PSV horrible 2nd week drop and DS horrible YoY drop.
WOW @ a PC game number one again after so much time!

while it obviously was a bit overtracked, unless adjusted down later on, really isn't as much as you think. People who preordered it got to play it a week early, and this is a MMO after all, where starting a week early will put you at a big advantage over other players. Seems logical that most people who are so interested in playing it as soon as it comes out will preorder it and play it the week before it comes out as well.
I really miss being able to see the top 50 for each console, especially around this time of year.
