Everyone shut up. Mario will be on pre-orders closer to launch. Zelda pre-orders will, ofcourse, get way higher.


I disagree on Mario. With the next gen consoles coming soon, the excitement for Mario is way lower than previous interations. When the excitement dies down however, and the Wii U picks up and hits its "stride", Mario sales will steady out and get better. Expect a small launch though.

Zelda won't do very well in my opinion. It's not named pokemon.


ok i must ask, how much do you think Zelda will sell? Cuz "Zelda won't do very well in my opinion. It's not named pokemon." has me confused. Pokemon is in awhole different level and nobody even think it would be even close!

Considering the crazy install base of the 3DS, Zelda will not sell to expectations. That sounds odd, but trust me, I know these things.

It's unfortunate, because Zelda looks like a much better game than X/Y for me.



ok but wat is expectation? Thats wat im asking? XY and LoZ look to be one of the best in their franchises and definitely both top 5 on 3ds of all time. Anyway i dont get wat you mean? How much does it need to sell?

Well, to be successful on the 3DS and on, say the vita, are two different things. The game will deserve 5+ mil sales and could easily do that on the 3ds with the install base. However, I just don't believe the 3ds audience will go crazy for a good zelda game. The reason the DS Zelda games sold a lot is due to the wind waker style visuals. They catered to the main DS audience.

ok 5mil is way to good. Anything under 2mil WW is a dissapointment. 2mil-3mil would be an average 3mil-4mil would be great 4mil+ would be fantastic. My question to you is how much do you think it'll sell lifetime?

xbox one is growing stronger, i am glad about that. It was only a matter of time.



Did you know ps4 only supports a 2.4 wireless signal?

The xbox one supports a wireless adapter capable of 2.4 - 5.0ghz.

The ONLY next gen console to do so. 

XxGame4lifexX on 21 October 2013

I feel a little bad for killzone, it should have higher pre orders seeing how ps4 doesnt have many retail launch titles.
forza 5. DR3 and Ryse are doing good seeing how there are more retail games to pre order.

I hope infamous does well cuz its my fav sony franchise.

PS hate detected and nuked. That's what I like to call a killstreak.



XxGame4lifexX on 21 October 2013

^^^^ there are more retail xbox one games than ps4
ps4 games should have higher pre orders simply because of that.
More games means more to choose from meaning less pre orders
Less games means higher pre orders.
It doesnt matter how you guys try to spin it, it is a fact!

Who's in charge of posting the pre-order numbers? Because The Last Guardian shouldn't be up there. How does it keep adding pre-order numbers every week? I just can't see people pre-ordering this game.

the game comes out in one month. One. Month. How much closer does it have to be to be on the charts? For comparison, Zelda comes out the same day for 3ds and just entered the charts albeit pretty low
