There are no games in the top 20 to be in its final week before launch. As a reminder the Pro data is back up, which means that I am taking requests again for games outside the top 20.
The top six games have 200,000 or more pre-orders, the same as last week, and the top 11 has 100,000 or more pre-orders, up from 10 last week. Four games added 20,000 or more, up from three last week and nine added 10,000 or more, up from six last week.

And how can Persona 4 not be in the Top 20 if it has over 72,000 pre-orders? Number 20 only has 66,800.
The data he used in the requests section is from this week - the actual table he's using is from last week.
I see
Transformers: War for Cybertron 2? ummm... isn't that Transformers: Fall of Cybertron? that was released weeks ago, I'm starting to believe vgchartz are pulling fictional titles out of their asses, because there was no announcement for Transformers: War for Cybertron 2.
