Americas Preorders Chart, 7 August 2010

@halil23

You're either doing a hilariously good parody of a hardcore PS3 fanboy or you need to reassess your priorities in life.

The amount of GT5 hate here is sad, but nowhere near as sad as seeing reach #s anyway!
Really, medal of honor & dead space 2 higher on xbox than PS3! Seriously? Isn't people aware that ps3 is the definitive version as both game has an extra game for FREE!! Has people forgotten E3 already?!?
Good to see madden higher though... :-p

@ljlrj
Yes it does count. All versions of the game no matter what they come with is still Halo Reach.

do they count legendary edition for halo reach :) cause that me:)

Wish EA would just announce the Dead Space 2 SE already, then that 44,000 would soon include me!

GT5 has simply taken too long. To many small updates and a string of possible launch-dates make the public very wary - even uncaring. And at the same time others racers came on the market.

Pretty sad for Sony. It's their best IP, and their best casual-type game. They should have launched it with the slim. It would have sold like mad.

Rather pathetic numbers for Kinect. It may do much worse than I expected.

Almost 1mil for Reach. That is as expected.

I feel sorry for GT5. Really...do we need a game of that scale? Is it necessary 5 years of development? Only hardcore gamers are gonna appreciate it. This game will flop in sales...compared to what it could have sold 2 years before and with ONLY 70% of what it has.

@Killiana1a
Rage isn't even a racing sim so that can't be compared with GT5. I'm pretty F1 Champ is the only other racing sim happening around GT5.

Would I be right in assuming the Kinect Adventures Pre Orders are a direct corolation to Kinect Hardware preorders?

GO HALO REACH!!!!!

i aint even preorded mine yet.... MUST say here in the UK MW2 was discounted at launch it retailed for lower than most games and was no where near full price on the first 2 weeks... looks like halo reach is going to make a LOT of money.

GT- Meh... do people really have time for such a HUGE game? forza was big enough if you ask me GT looks boring...

with online gaming people are playing older more fun games for longer...

imagine if EA had put out the 360 MoH beta on time... they may even have had a shot a doing the same general numbers as CoD: BO

People keep on talking about the GT series having legs. How would those knees respond to ID's FPS/racer Rage? I believe Rage would seriously cripple one or both of GT5 long selling legs.

GT5 has an uphill battle on it's hands. The series has been gone for too long and people have found other racing sims to satisfy their need for speed. When the series peeked with GT3 it was the only high quality racing sim on the shelf. But now there is Forza, Shift, Dirt, and more. GT5 is going to sell well to die hard GT fans but it's not goig to pull in as many casual racers as it used to, not with established quality alternatives already in people's homes.

GT 5 pre-orders are pathetic

Wii games dont get much preorders, that is a fact. Why are we still getting this question so deep in this generation?

HELLZ YEA, I WILL BE SO HAPPY WHEN I SEE HALO:REACH TOP MW2 IN FIRST WEEK SALES!!!!
When this happens, Let Us Never make this mistake again!!
Long Live Halo!!!!

@Salnax
Wii games don't get the same numbers of pre-orders as the PS3 and 360, so its first week should see a bigger jump between its final total of pre-orders and its first week sales, than a PS3 or 360 game.

Is anybody else a tad bit disappointed with Metroid?

@Baalzamon

MOH had a public beta, Black ops didn't. Hence why all those preorders are there...

I have to say, considering Medal of Honor stopped producing games for a while, I'm extremely surprised that combined, MoH preorders are actually higher than Black Ops preorders, even though it is a 4 week difference between the 2 for release date.

Kinect Sports will do big :D

LBP2 in 33rd position on the chart, but has the 13th biggest change for the week. With 15 weeks still to go for release it's looking like it will do very well in holiday sales.
