Wii U rise

I wonder if that 1 hr gameplay video has been partly responsible for this steady rise in pre-orders on Amazon. The general media view on The Order has been luke-warm to negative for the most part, so ramping up pre-orders must be for other reasons. We certainly know how negative media views can dampen down final week pre-orders considering we never saw a single evolve sku break into the top 10, or even get to 11 like The Order has already done.


I think the Super Bowl ad started it and it has just gained momentum from there.



ps4 : 7
Xone : 16

Big drop for the Xone, probably because the effect of exclusive ad for evolve is over.



Today looking big for Nintendo. MM at 2, MH4U at 8, 3DS in top 80, and three DS line chargers in the top 100, with one in the top 20. Looking like a strong launch for those games as well as the N3DS.

Also, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is on the rise.

It might just be good timing. We have been overwhelmed by killer AAA online First/Third person titles. Sometimes it's nice to have an offline title in the genre you love to change it up.

PS3 back to $244, and falling again. But that's because Amazon is the only one selling PS4 at $219 and they are temporarily out of stock. That's right folks PS3 is supply constrained at $219.

Big day for Nintendo, hope it goes well for them on Amazon



Amazon UK has had MM3D and the New 3DS' performing pretty well.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

The Order at #14 and #64.

Monster Hunter & MM doing well which is nice to see

It's going to be interesting to see if reviews do influence sales of games significantly. My guess would be:

7/100 - 10/10 moves up list
4/10 - 7/10 moves down the list.
