FIFA PS4 almost at 3m while FIFA XB1 hasn't even reached 1m. Can't say I expected such an epic gap


But you can't deny that you were hoping for it. 

I didn't really think about it beforehand but it's a nice surprise.

It's selling the same as WD PS4 weekly which was supposed to have bad legs due to its reception and "hype" surrounding it. Considering MK has traditionally been one of the leggiest franchises in gaming I'd call MK8's performance quite lackluster but expected given the WiiU sales.

Indeed. Looks like PS4 was adjusted up by around 150-200k

Yeah those pre order numbers are just getting really bad now, No way CoD or Halo are that low

COD peaked a while ago, cant see the numbers improving. And Halo is just a collection of older games are people really expecting it to light the charts on fire?


Yes.

You would have to be a fool to think it WON'T light the charts on fire.


im sorry but what does that prove exactly? Its just a placement on a chart. It doesnt give us any numbers. So the links dont really prove anything otherwise. Matter of fact its still lower than COD which is what VGchartz has. Now we can dispute the numbers but you dont have any of your own to prove that VGChartz numbers are wrong.

I do have proof in the fact that VGC has Halo CEA at 221,677 5 weeks from launch, while in the same period, MCC only has 73,289. Unless you're going to tell me that a collection of all 4 main Halo games, which includes Halo 2 Anniversary, which on it's own would sell more than CEA, is being pre ordered less than CEA, VGC is wrong. Plain and simple.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

bad example. How much 360s were sold by the time CEA was out? How much xones are in the wild now? HUGE difference. Im not saying you're wrong, but you dont really have proof

I completely missed this:  Forza outsold Middle Earth (by only 5k but still).
