Next 2 weeks will be interesting to see what kind of effect if any the recent Xbox showcase has, as well as GDC.

If those pre-order numbers turn out to be true that would mean ME3 has a slight chance of coming close to ME and ME2's total sales within a few weeks on the 360. I really hope it turns out to be a huge hit like Skyrim (although the chances it breaks 4 million is pretty small)

I really hope Xenoblade pre-orders really are that good.

Surprised that Street Fighter X Tekken doesn't have more preorders. Sounds like a dream game for fighting fans (I know I've certainly been convinced to buy it).

.... it literally boggles my mind that anyone would say this.

Let's look at the last two Mario party games. Mario party DS opened to 104k in the USA and ended up with 3.8million sales.
While Mario Party 8 opened to first week sales of 263k and ended up with 3.36million in the USA.

Not only this but being a more casual orientated game it tends to have more first week walk in purchases as opposed to high pre-orders. Mp9 will do just fine. Won't do quite as well as MP8 since the Wii U will cut it's life short, however to say it will bomb hard because pre-orders aren't massive is just nonsensical.

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.
