MAG looking like a 300-400k NA release, not bad. Be close to a million Week 1 with NA+EU

ME2 might crack 450k release

GoWIII Surprises me, could we see a 600k release?

I am rooting for Heavy Rain topping 250k on release but not looking likely

WKC looks like it will have legs rather than front sales

GoW3 could well have 600k preorders. I would be surprised if it released to less than 750k in NA.

Oh wow that is even more than I could have dreamed. I would have guessed it to released 500kish but I would very much like to see 750k+ the series deserves to end with a bang.

ActiBliz only really has Music and Shooters on consoles. Both genres are traditionally bigger on 360. But then BC2 is inexplicably getting more pre-orders on PS3, so you could be right.

Do people forget about the PS3 (console) exclusive beta? I am sure that did quite a bit for pre-order numbers.

Alpha Protocol had a release for sometime last year. All of a sudden it was pushed back without any warning. That may be why it has more pre-orders

sorry i was thinking week 1 sales, but now that i look at its pre-orders i can see it selling 400-500k sales first week NA and 600-700k worldwide first week.

WKC looks like it will have legs rather than front sales

unlikely considering the game is very mediocre according to the majority + its a JRPG

I hope online will propell it though!

Are you talking about the Famitsu score? They gave the same score to Demon's Souls, and we all know how that turned out

I still believe it will walk its way to 300k which by all means is pretty good for a jrpg

That's the whole point...why would you exclusive beta to a console that is most likely going to sell less?  Sure, you could say because the 360 crowd will get it anyway, but based on pre-orders, that would seem to contradict this line of thinking.

Bit too optimistic for me.

I'd be thrilled if GOW opened to 500k in NA. I think it'll get great reviews and I reckon word of mouth will be strong for it.
