I think most people interested in this game pre-ordered already when it was close to release before the delay.

Nice, Gears! Finally getting decent jumps week for week. I can see an analogy to Tomb Raider which was so downplayed that it was redicilous and turned out to be a very good game which can instantly keep up with all the great games that are present this gen. I think it will sell less than GoW, though. Still good for the 4th incarnation of this nice game.

It's around 70k less, judging by the pre-order chart from last week.

Nice to see Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate on there, both for the sake of the Wii U, and because the series really deserves to be more successful in the West.

nintendo must take note, and secure this franchise as an exclusive :P

Ironically Who Wants to be a Millionaire is a Sony franchise.

Because those seem a little low if you ask me... hopefully the first week sales will be good, then again, this IS only the US numbers. 1 God of War III (PS3) Sony Computer Entertainment, Action 1 53,501 423,683

cool only 80k.

well that's disappointing for god of War, but here's to hoping 800k first wk. i think that's what GOW3 did first wk.

Gears will end about the same.

Vita version incoming? XD

Gears will end about the same.   In the grand scheme, 80K really isn't a big deal. If GoW III sold 5.08 mill and Ascension sold 5mill, that would hardly be a reason to worry, especially given the latter is a prequel. Also, people are forgetting the Limited Edition system isn't countd in the pre-orders. I'm one of the folks buying it (along with the Special Edition version of the game). That two sales.

the bold is the original post before i found the pezus post. just didn't feel like taking it out.

i hope GOW:A does a good 5m, that would give little reason for worry.

wow really?  I didn't know those weren't counted that's weird.  I pre-ordered GoW and LoU special editions (survival for LoU cause I'm not paying over $100 for a game and only really want the steel case lol).  I'll also be getting the Beyond special edition.  Sony is even offering value in special editions now with these ones that are only $20 more and since I've never bought a SE before this I'd say it's working.
