Black Ops gonna be huge and now with the neq edition people will pre order even more.

Borderlands is going to probably do close to 1 million opening week on 360 alone

Surprised to see Madden has more pre-orders on the PS3 than the 360.

RE: 360. I hope Blops 2 does not sell better than MW3. I can not belive how MW3 has sold a million more than Black Ops. Seires needs to die fast, its killing the industry.

Black Ops 2 needs to die, but it won't. And Luigis Mansion 2 be huge!

Black Ops II PS3 has more pre-orders this week than Halo 4. Is there a chance Black Ops II on PS3 pre-orders will explode and catch Halo 4? Will it open higher than Halo 4? It's got an extra week of pre-orders up its sleeve and it looks like BO II on 360 is taking some of Halo 4's air.

I can't believe the CoD juggernaut managed to knock Halo off it's 360 perch this gen. TBH I prefer the top selling game for a console to be an iconic exlusive rather than a multiplat. Looks like Nintendo is the only company that will carry on that tradition. Last gen PS2's best seller was a multiplat, but GC and XB flew the exclusive flag. but this gen brand Xbox fell to the might of the dominating multiplat...well there's Kinect Adventures I suppose... technically the best "selling" Xbox 360 game.

Where do these numbers come from again? Is Fall of Cybertron actually only going to sell 10k units or what?

If advenures have been sold seprately it wouldnt even break 1m.

So i dont think that game is a juggernaut.

hmm don't know, there is one more week to preorder but that's like you would use halo 4 preorders from last week and it is still some preorders in front of blops2 for ps3 then but it will be interesting the last few weeks when we get preorders in the 100k regions and advertisement for halo 4 will be an important factor, with brilliant advertisement i say it will stay in front, without that it won't.

halo and blops take a lot of preorders fom each other on 360, blops could be already much higher, it's still behind mw3 preorders and the ps3 vrsion is already in front of mw3 for ps3.

in the end, both, halo 4 and blops2 on 360 will sell much less than they could without the other game, bad for halo in my opinion lol^^

btw:

xbox 360 2,692 - 46,644
