Americas Preorders Chart, 28 August 2010 - Metroid: Other M Jumps

LMAO @ Ping , dude don't be butt-hurt...the truth hurts and the holiday sales will prove it. The Move will be another disaster for Sony!!! Between the Wii and X360S w/Kinect there really isn't any reason for a Wii360 owner to pick up a PS3 at the moment!!! The PS3 is a great console it's just not revolutionary like the Wii and as powerful as the X360 that's all.

I think a lot of people still doubtfull if GT5 actually will keep it's release date this time, pre-orders should pick up in a few weeks. The game will have great legs nonetheless though.

LMAO!! here comes the Kinect is revolutionary!!!! god if only you know how stupid you guys sound.

@Michael Of course the PS:Move is just a generic rip-off/copy of the Wii; nothing better, nothing worse. While the Kinect is totally revolutionary. Remember the old saying "an original will always be worth more than a copy". Hopefully, next generation Sony can finally come up with their OWN revolutionary idea like Microsoft and Nintendo!

@Siko That would be the best case scenario, however if you take Japan into account...that won't happen. 1st week sales would be around 380K-420K WW and probably look something like this: Americas: 235K (1stW) Japan: ~70K (1stW) Others: 100K (1stW) My only hope is that it outsells MP:Corruption as I see this game a better Metroid overall and going back to it's roots per se.

I like how Kinect pre-orders are compared to Move Pre-orders. It really makes the Move look bad, mainly because the Kinect is 8 more weeks to launch and has 4x the pre-orders as it is. I will laugh very hard if Move week one sales are lower then Kinect Pre-Orders at the time in Americas. P.S. I know the Move will sell better in Europe, but at best case I see the Kinect selling half as well their, and the Move twice as well, and thats still a strong sales difference in favor of Kinect. This holidays will be exciting.

i say 550k worldwide for other m first week, it will be lucky enough to get 600k because of the huge hype it has?

Glad Other: M is doing good. Hopefully we'll see FW sales of 250K or more!!!

LOL wut Max Payne just got 700 negative preorders.

just pre-order ac brotherhood and h bbs

Seems to be at least in line with Metroid Prime 3

Good metroid numbers, I made my preorder yesterday at 11:40pm.... Hopefully 300K 1 week for america.... 500K 1week ww...

Looks like Sony needs to start advertising GT5, cause it seems a lot of people have forgotten about it =/

@ Silver-Tiger Some people had their fan goggles strapped on tight, cutting off the blood flow to their brains. GT5 will do good, but racers are not even in the same league sales wise as FPS's, especially one of the biggest FPS franchises ever.

@ guy below: cherry picking at its best!

Gran Turismo 5 -> 7,475 Just Dance 2 -> 9,336 The market has changed a lot in last 4 years.

First week Metroid sales should be around 225k max.

Don't think Other M will open THAT high. Unless you're talking about WW.

Do people even know GT5 is coming out in the next couple of weeks? Everyone i have mentioned it to thinks the game got cancelled

ok, does someone still thinks that GT5 can outsell Reach? There was a topic and people were all over: "Sure!, Of Course!, Always!" Looking at these numbers it seems more and more unrealistic. Not that it matters much, GT and Reach are different genres, but I can't understand how people could have believed that.

I Hope GT5 does better i was expecting bigger numbers for that game although i would like to see Japan and total other pre-orders

Since Kinect Adventures is bundled with Kinect and not available standalone for pre-order, I'm assuming that the pre-orders for Kinect itself is 100,000. Using the Kinect Adventures pre-order number is a good gauge of Kinect orders. I'm actually surprised it's not higher.

Weldone halo reach! Thought it might dip bellow mw2 this week due to the spike! It's looking amazing though! It will be funny if the best selling halo game of all time doesn't have master chief in it! Lol Kinda ironic! I would like to see halo 3 vs reach preorders to see how the game has progressed. Kinects looking strong too! Impressive!

I miss being able to see the top 200 American preorders.

good prediction vgchartz with other m

GT5 head 2 head with Fable3,

Article needs a bit of proof reading. I don't mean to seem overly critical, but we do want VGC to have a professional vibe to it, right? Naturally Black-Ops, like MW2, is going to show the power of multiplatness, as is MoH. I think, given the crowded FPS space it's trying to launch in, MoH is looking like it will have a pretty solid launch. Across PS360 it should easily have a >1 million launch week in Americas alone, and of course the PS3 platform has one less FPS for it to compete with. I think MoH will be an America's million seller on each console individually. So it's looking like a reasonably solid re-launch for the franchise into the "contemporary warfare" sub-genre.

I hope Kirby, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and even Wii Party show up soon. I'm gonna pre-order Kirby and Wii Party today when I pick up Other M.

Good read.

GT5 Will do fine!
