1. Persona 4 comes out November 20, 2012. I don't know WTF is going on with VgChartz thinking it launches this week.
2. Call of Duty Vita launches at the same time as Black OPs 2 on PS3/360. Why does it say 10 weeks till launch? It should be the same as Black OPs 2, 3 weeks.

I can't take this chart seriously.

The game did 137k first week in Japan and gave Vita a big HW boost....that was back in June.

SIGH.

1. Liberation will give Vita a boost. We don't know how big, but there is a bundle and people love bundles so...BOOST.

2. Call of Duty Vita is on there. It's #50. Release Date is wrong though.

3. There is no price drop in Europe.

4. It's getting marketing. I've seen a lot of Liberation ads.

Usually Cod sells more 2m and something on 360.

Allways has been like that, while not huge is a significant difference but Cod is also the most played game on ps3 by far while on 360 well its minecraft.

LOL! 

1) God of War came out first in March 2005 whereas Gears of War released November 2006. 

2) God of War has a much larger and faster growing fanbase meaning more people use the acronym 'GoW' when talking about God of War (according to largest Facebook fan group):  

God of War: 3,394,853  VS.  Gears of War: 2,145,537.

3) The God of War franchise (22m) is bigger than Gears of War (18m but probably undertracked a bit) at the moment and the gap will grow because GoW: Ascension will be bigger than GeoW: Judgment and there will be another God of War game for the PS Vita within the next 2 years growing the gap even bigger.

4) The God of War trilogy is more critically acclaimed than the Gears of War trilogy (GameRankings). 

God of War =  92.96% VS. Gears of War = 92.86%.

As you can see, God of War >>>> Gears of War, thus GoW currently and will forever mean God of War. :) 

I once loved the Gears of War franchise but GeoW 3 (which I bought the Epic Edition for) put me off big time no matter how hard I tried to force myself to love it and GeoW: Judgment looks like shit. Oh yeah, you can use GeoW for Gears of War by the way. 

With that said, here's my opinion on the pre-order data. Bioshock Infinite looks overtracked, GoW:A/Halo 4/ COD: BO2/ AC3 look undertracked, Hitman's doing decently and I have no comment on the other games. All a bit 'meh' to be honest. 

I'm not even going to argue with most of your flawed argument but you do realize that Gears of War set the tone for this generation and basically created the way third person shooters are today with its cover system?  I believe Gears of War is revolutionary and the trilogy outsold the god of war trilogy.  Seriously what the hell was that even about and what was the point in having such a bias argument?  Gears and God of War are not even close to being the same game or same genre, so are you really going to compare the two?

GOW = Gears of War. Higher sales = rights to the acronym
