Seems FF13-2 will outsell its Japanese counterpart the same way 13 did.

Looks like FFXIII-2 could perform quite well on both X360 & PS3 in USA.

Luigi's Mansion surprises me. Not bad for the sequel of a game that, in all honesty, didn't have that many big fans.



Go ME3! Other than that the pre-order charts are quite boring.

Diablo III is doing really amazing, for a game with no confirmed release date. And people said Halo 4's numbers were unprecedented

Well, it's still pretty likely Halo 4's pre-order numbers will be bigger at release than Diablo 3's pre-order numbers at release.

I'm most glad to see

KoA: Reckoning doing decent numbers though, not personally that interested in it, but peeps say it'll be a good game, so it deserved to sell decently.

It is, but it makes the current Halo 4 preorders look weak in comparison

Who said that? I know a lot of people said Halo 4's numbers were amazing (which they were a couple of weeks ago) but I don't remember ever seeing "unprecedented"
