Forums - Sales Discussion - American Preorder Charts- 9th January 2010. ME2 leads the way

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. 

DICE has always had a slight preference to the PS3

Didn't think DI would have twice the numbers on the PS3 with half the install base....looks like GOW 3 won't really affect its performance.

M$ seems to be aligning to Actv-Blizzard, and EA to Sony...imho. Before anyone points out ME2, they need to get a history lesson first.

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.


It's not "inexplicably" getting more preorders. It's dead on obvious that it's because there's a beta only on the PS3.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

No Red Steel 2? Isn't that game coming out relatively soon?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Looks like my theory of FFXIII selling more on PS3 in America will be true

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

When FFXIII gets advertised I think sales may shift to 360 by a lot

or the whole multiplat thing might backfire as in it might have been pointless, as of now, those sales could easily have been PS3's, around 43K is nothing



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

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.

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.

Come on, God of War is as big if not bigger than Gears of War



But war... war never changes

actually nowhere near, nowehere near

The highest selling god of war is at 3.4 Million, the last one is at 2.58 Million

People blame piracy bla bla bla, but despite piracy games on the PS2 in those years managed to still sell amazing figures

God Of War is a large franchise, its not a HUGE or a ZOMG BIG one though, it will move PS3 hardware

but as a franchise, its not in the big league.

lt'll be interesting to see who wins for the month, GOw 3 or FF13 (on PS3) or battlefield bad company 2 (lol)

But I will say this, most people are underestimating the release of a new final fantasy, people under-estimated it in japan & see what happened, most peoples predictions were blown out of the water including famitsu's LTD prediction in 1 week



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Mass Effect 2 looks like it will have a very good first week, possibly 700k WW.  Within 2-3 months it will probably outsell the original Mass Effect.



The PS3 versions of Battlefield and Dante's Inferno have more pre - orders than their 360 counter parts ? DAMN !!

I seriously doubted MAG numbers. It has the possibility of a 400 - 500 K opening WW.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E
