Amazing to see Luigi's Mansion 2 that high even without a determined release date!

Starhawk is release close to my bday so I'll be picking it up or someone would buy it for me as a gift :)

@ Attoyou

That why Uncharted IS a mega franchise. You reinforcing my point. Sony should cut down on things like Ratchet and Clank, Starhawk, Resistance, etc. and instead focus on about 3-4 large franchises. Anyting that will ensure 4million or more in sales.

Like MS has Fable, Halo, Forza, and Gears to a certain extent (they recieve quite a bit even though its 3rd party due to getting the normal console royalties as well as the publishing profit).

Sony should just narrow its focus is all I'm saying. Hell even Nintendo does this simply focusing on its big name brand aware franchises. Leave the new risky IP's to either 3rd parties or at the start of a new gen or system launch. Its far more profitable. But again this is a pre-order thread I won't talk about this anymore its off-topic.

You really think Sony are posting good profit from Ratchet & Clank All 4 One, Killzone, LBP2, Starhawk, or really the majority of their exclusives? Well, they aren't. This is a fact. Sony themselves have straight said they are going to narrow down and cut down the amount of exclusives they have. It only makes sense. So again, your not arguing with me then, your arguing with Sony since we seem to be in agreement. But anyways this is getting Off topic this is a pre-order thread I'm not gonna sit around and argue with your guys agenda, I dont really care anyways.

You seem to have me confused. I never claimed that Sony didn't have a huge number of flops. I'm only stating that those games flop because of their quality, not because Sony puts out too many games. Games like God of War & Uncharted are great, thus see great sales. Games like Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One? Not so much. If Sony would have released only one game last year & nothing else, it would have probably still sold the same as it did in reality.

Possibly, Animal Crossing is really popular.

Attoyou said: BenVTrigger said: @ Millenium Not really surprising to see an exclusive not due strong numbers. Especially not so much on the PS3. Sure PS3 has tons have exclusives but they all mostly sell mid-range or lower. They actually do too many 1st party exclusives so they don't have the money to actually push these franchises with strong advertising and such. Sony themselves have even said this is a problem. They need to focus more on a few big name in house exclusives and try to turn them into mega franchises like Halo and Gears. They have Uncharted right now which is doing pretty successful but if you look at most of the other 1st party stuff in terms of sales they aren't massive franchises. Starhawk is simply being swallowed up in everything else at least currently. Halo Reach: 8.93 Million Gran turismo: 7.44 Million Gears of War 3: 5.36 Million Uncharted 3: 4.17 Million Dem Mega Franchises, Sony Only wishes they had anything near as big. This Is a "mega Franchise" Mario Kart Wii: 31.91, Gears is not, it might be Big, and it does Big week ones, but its not a lot larger than Uncharted anymore.

Given the legs I'd say uncharted is bigger than gears now, U3 will pass Gears 3.

What? Isn't that what AC means?

Please tell me you're kidding, AC3 is obviously Assassin's Creed 3 my friend.

To answer the question however, while I don't have any hard figures to give you, I believe AC3 on the 360 is currently higher than Halo 4 in pre-orders despite this chart indicating otherwise, I don't expect it too stay there, but for the time being it doesn't seem unlikely. :)

pezus said: No. My sarcasm sense is tingling.

This time, you're wrong. AC (Animal Crossing) came before AC (Assassins Creed.)

pezus said: ... It doesn't really matter though. I've never seen anyone talking about Animal Crossing as AC, but obviously both of them can be called AC and I think you know what I was saying.

If you think about it, it could actually go either way. AC is on it's third title while Assassins Creed is too.
