So Destiny is being published by Sony in Japan? Thought Square Enix might have grabbed this up after the success of COD games there.

Meh all round.

I know I've already asked this question, but when the hell will Smash WiiU preorders open?! :S

It's 3 months away from being released so not before OCtober I'm guessing. That's usually the case with Wii/Wii U games.

Anyways, Bayonetta should be the next Wii U game to chart. I'll be controversial and say it wil do better than HW.

It's not stolen, it's "liberating" XD

@kopstudent Is there a release date for SSB WIiU?

That's only the second or third time I've seem Smash 3DS get more preorders than MH4U.

Its ok though, despite how well MH sells overall and how many pre orders it gets, its a very weird case as it really seems like all its sales come just from pre orders and hardly anybody that just walks in and buys the game FW.

MH has a record of high pre orders yet overall it doesn't seem to sell as much as it seems. So for example looking at both SSB 3DS and MH4G, MH4G is killing it pre order wise but if the numbers stop right now, SSB would most likely outsell it FW as Nintendo games usually have a better ratio of 1:1000 in pre orders on COMG :)

Edit: See here.... Last 3 MH (excludingFrontier)

3872 ~ 44% [MC: 1.715mil /  Fam: 1.875mil] ●Monster Hunter 4 

1290 ~ 40% [MC: 522k] ●Monster Hunter 3G

5024 ~ 38% [MC: 1.95mil] ●Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

Put MH4G at a 50% ratio of FW and its pre orders looking at around 500k (still amazing as its about 2 months away). 

SSB wil have a better ratio than MH, but won't be close to 1:1k

Well i cant exactly say if SSB will be over 1:1k ratio, but i really think it'll be at least close to it (Worse case scenario 85%). If it ends up with 850 points i'll say it'll have at least a 750k Opening.

Here is a list of the top 10 1st party 3DS pre orders...

2136 ~ 87% [MC: 1.866mil /  Fam: 2.096mil] ●Pokemon XY

655 ~ 92% [MC: 603k / Fam: 721k]  ●Animal Crossing NL

574 ~ ??%  ●SSB 3DS

503 ~ 81% [MC: 404k / Fam: 411k] ●Tomodachi Collection 

384 ~ 106% [MC: 407k / Fam 430k] ●New Super Mario Bros 2

297 ~ 142% [MC: 423k /  Fam: N/A] ●Mario Kart 7

273 ~ 103% [MC: 280k /  Fam: 301k] ●Luigi's Mansion 2
