Nov 22 Preorders are gonna be cool :)
The Order 1886 will be taking the top spot then. Wonder if it will remain there until release.
Requests: Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U), Zelda U (Wii U), Majora's Mask 3D (3DS).
Request : Mortal Kombat X (all platforms)
1-3 million Smash Bros lifetime?
...Ok
Melee: 7.07m
Brawl: 12.32m
I don't expect a crazy amount of sales seeing as the Wii U hasn't caught on like the Wii. Though I would expect more than 3 million to sell.
Great for everything! But why does The Last Guardian have a boxart?
I think The Order 1866 will be the next "overhyped" game we're going to get.
Smash is going to do at least 2 million in US lifetime plus japan will give it another 1.5-2 million and europe should give it a million so 5 million at least imo
3m at least in USA.
As much as the least selling smash(n64)!
The Order 1886 will be taking the top spot soon. Wonder if it will remain there until release.
you kidding me... you don't seriously expect GTAV PS4 to open in the 200-270K range, do you?
weak prediction selling 1-3 million in usa lifetime alone
remind me why anybody pre-orders again?
