Have to agree with this, Skyrim is doing better than previous The Elder Scrolls games ever could.

Completely different situations. Skyrim and BF3 are standalone games with no requirements to play earlier games. ME3 is direct sequel to ME2&ME. ME3 will not sell much more than ME2 actually probably a bit less. It will be extremely frontloaded like all sequels.

Hopefully this means, both the 360 & PS3 version will outperform FFXIII

You wanna bet?

If your bet is ME3 will sell 4.5m+ on 360 I'll take the bet



okay, but we're going to need some conditions with a definite ending. Otherwise, we'd be waiting for years for it to reach 4.5m. How about this: ME3 will sell 3.3m on the X360 by the end of the year.

(similar to God Of War 3 sales now that I think about it. March release. ~3.5m by the end of 2010. And ~4.5m lifetime).

Boutros you have the same thing as Millenium. However I think I figured it out. Vgchartz used to measure 'Americas' pre-orders whereas it now does USA which I assume are slightly different areas.

http://www.vgchartz.com/article/7321/americas-preorders-chart-06th-mar-2010/

You have FF13 (ps3) at 295k whereas it was actually at 339k. You have ff13 (360) at 117k but it was actually at 135k.

However if it is the difference between Americas and USA then it would make sense. So I take it you guys got the figures for ME2 and FF13 pre-orders for just USA and not Americas right?



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

Damn, halo is slowing way down. I wish i was excited mass effect 3... maybe i need to play mass effect 2 again..?

EDIT: I ninja'd you again pezus!



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Sure okay. I say 3.3m. 



Indeed. And what happens when I win?
