EyePet is actually ranked 32? Never thought I'd see a Move or Kinect game higher than 10,000 preorders.

Starcraft 2 is massive! With Blizzard legs it could possibly outsell the original eventually. Which is amazing.

The only game on this list I'm going to preorder is Halo Reach, but there are two games NOT on this list I will preorder as well. Majin and Enslaved.

@Kowenicki I try to keep the articles short and concise. I want to mention the biggest games for each system that are coming out relatively soon. Once Fable 3, like with other games, starts picking up I will add it to the article.

Fallout: New Vegas is doing a lot better than what I expected from it! If it continue at this rate, it can sell more than one million on its first week on X360 alone!
