USA Preorders Chart, 15 December 2012 - Slow Week - News

by William D'Angelo , posted on 21 December 2012 / 7,935 Views

Overview

There are no games in the top 30 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.

One game has 200,000 or more pre-orders, the same as last week, and the top nine has 100,000 or more pre-orders, up from seven last week. No games added 20,000 or more, the same as last week and four added 10,000 or more, the same as last week.
