I get the same feeling

Me too I think vgc needs to improve pre order tracking service

Halo MCC should be in the top 30, shit I'd even argue top 10 by now.

so im gonna say this smash bros and halo should be around 40k(hype/remake/smash bros was like played by thousands at best buy) sunset around 35k

I'm sorry, I know those are estimates but there is a point where it just gets ridiculous and these pre order charts really don't need defending. Games appearing and disappearing seemingly at random, certain games just missing while they should definitely be there and other games (japanese mostly) constantly having way too many pre orders.

I don't know how big the sample size for that chart is but it really can not be very representative at all.

That's like saying you can't criticize a game unless you're a game developer yourself. 

OT: The preorder charts are basically guesswork, I wouldn't rely on them too much. 

Yeah, I think the preorders are way of but it's nowadays when so many games are bought online. MCC is guaranteed to have alot of preorders and most likely Battlefield as well.

mine opinion too with a little extra :)

Preorder chart here is very unreliable.
MCC will sell like hotcakes, and mainly through preorders. I expect it to be heavily frontloaded. Also, it will certainly be bundled, which will sustain its sales deep into 2015.

BF will crash and burn hard. Bad press from BF4, coupled with the setting way outside BF fanbase's comfort zone will get it hammered at the register.

people keep forgetting smash is undertracked too :P

but i agree with the things you said
