These pre-orders are almost one moth late and feel completely irrelevant because of it. It would be interesting if you published these numbers before the actually launched.
Request: Godzilla (PS4).
Xenobloade Chronicles X?
And lol for The Last Guardian.... i'm not even sure if have 1,000 pre order haha.
Battlefield Hardline is massive massive undertracked, Type 0 probabily overtracked, BloodBorne and Mario Party 10 seem correct.
the opening numbers for FF type 0 will be huge based on these pre-order numbers alone!!!
Looks like we might be seeing Splatoon on the chart itself soon!
Request:Splatoon
Still worried it hasn't even ranked in the charts yet, lets just hope it has the same case as Smash were it was undertracked in the charts.
Request: Mario Maker (WiiU)
Rise of the Tomb raider looks to be failing hard. Wondering how long the timed exclusivity will last for the game.
Fail base on preorders? It's too early too judge but when gameplay is reveal preorders will go straight up .
