Forums - Sales - Random Pre-Order numbers from GAF

NeoRatt on 16 September 2008

If this is any indicator of the holiday rush, Sony doesn't look like they are in great shape.

The demographics of the 3 console owners are really starting to show...

I'm sorry but that list laughably bias. How the well are there no Wii titles up there? I love the PS3, but even I'm not sutpid enough to believe the Guitar / Rock band stuff on Wii wouldn't sell like crack to a 10 year old boy in prison.

On topic, those Resistance 2 numbers look fudged too. Every PS3 fan I know is either going to get that or LBP.

 Are there 2 different lists or something?!!! You are the 2nd person to say this in this thread but in the OP I can see 3 Wii games.  Either different lists are showing up on different PCs or you should have gone to Specsavers.

Random poster, but the numbers are very interesting. Take with a grain of salt. They are LTD pre-orders for multiple stores. And #1 isn't a suprise...But #2 is (to me):

Game System Units Pre-Ordered

Fable 2 X360 2,465
Fallout 3 X360 1,296
Lego Batman Wii 1,130
Fallout 3 PS3 657
Rock Band 2 PS3 224
Rock Band 2 Wii 198
Guitar Hero: WT Wii 194
Guitar Hero: WT X360 181
LittleBigPlanet PS3 138
Rock Band 2 (Bundle ) X360 120
Guitar Hero: WT PS3 108

Do you mean gears of war 2?

So wait....I may be missing something. In the average store poled 4k units of GeoW2 and 2.5k units of Fable 2 have been pre-ordered?

According to the GAF poster, yes, which Im guessing is the main reason he posted this. Interesting list none the less. R2 (which didn't even make the list) and LBP flops confirmed.

I don't believe pre-order numbers. I remember God of War 2 had a large number of pre-orders, then when the sales numbers came out they were much, much lower.

hell Too Human had a similar issue to GOW 2

Some people wouldn't recognize a good game even it hit them in the face with a shovel. GOW2 is awesome.

According to this, Fallout 3 will outsell Guitar Hero.

 

No, according to this Fallout 3 has more preorders than Guitar Hero. Pre-orders don't indicate sales, that is an inference. I Pre-Ordered Fable 2 because of the 10 dollar Xbla game that came with it. However, lets infer that these number would indicated sales, my opinions:

LBP sales are hard to predict. I have a feeling how it's gonna go, which involves a less than amazing opening and long legs, but I'd best not get to deep into that, since I want to avoid flames.

Fable 2 will sell well. A lot of people are excited about it, just like Fable 1. If it gets great reviews(which is 50/50) it'll sell better than some people think on this forum, or worse depending on who we're talking about.

I dunno if 200 dollar World Tour is the type of game people preorder. :P It'll sell well though, but not as good as GH3.
