Also...isn't Destiny the most pre-ordered next gen game? Or is it coming on 360 and PS3 as well?

Weekly numbers for single platform:

Titanfall x1: 6593

Destiny ps4: 3516


he never said this week, he said most pre-ordered, overall it isn't. Either way it's close to launch so hardly surprising.

How does Titanfall have the highest pre-orders of 8th gen? Destiny "PS4 version" has higher pre-orders bud.

What's funny is that we don't have a release date for Destiny "yet". Imagine how many pre-orders it will have by time we get to it's launch. *Jaw drops*.

Going by weekly numbers.

Destiny's date is Sept. 9th. Their pre-order numbers are from the promise that it would be a spring release with a beta in Q1 for the people who pre-ordered.

Oh. I see. You twisted the numbers in your favour. Instead of focusing on the "overall" pre-order total. You went for the "weekly update".

Not I know why Microsoft is the grandaddy of all PR spinners. All that talk of "Xbox One fastest selling console in November". Could've fooled me.

I cannot believe that Bravely default is getting that much sales in America? Didn't the last one bomb?

Where did all these American 3DS fans all of a sudden pop out from?


I take those numbers with a grain of salt. VGChartz also had Wii Fit U's numbers at 48k with 1 week left and we see how that turned out for USA.

Which last one? this is the first game of the saga that comes to America.

Also you have to preorder to get the collector's edition, so more pre-orders than usual for a Nintendo hardware game.

And as someone mentioned earlier, JRPGs are usually overtracked on the pre-order charts.

I hope Titanfall sells better than Destiny, I hate activision

Etrian Odyssey I guess I meant.....

 

So why do we even look at these charts then if they are so far? Off? I am well versed in the COMG, but I guess I have not been here much to understand the usefullness of this chart. Just to show which game is on top?

They are far off with some games more than others, for example JRPGs. I don't know how the data is gathered, estimated but that particular genre is constantly off (overtracked), the other ones not so much.

Wouldn't expect that, Destiny is on 4 platforms. 2 of which have an 80m install base. And another with "Exclusive Content".

That demo that came out a few weeks ago sold a lot of people on the game.
