The top four games have 200,000 or more pre-orders, up from two last week, and the top 11 has 100,000 or more pre-orders, up from 10 last week. Three games added 20,000 or more, the same as last week and four added 10,000 or more, down from seven last week.

It's sad that people want to know preorder of game that will be enter in the top 20 very soon instead of request games that will probably never enter the top 20 or even the top 50.
