So will we be seeing GT5 pre-orders go down now?? Lol :/

There are numbers for Black Ops Wii, but they wouldn't be on the chart. Back when you could access like 2 or 3 pages worth of the chart I saw it there a couple months ago. I am curious as to any pre-orders would be fine even if Wii owners are not known to pre-order games. Modern Warfare Reflex never showed up on the top 50 either and it still went on to sell well.

GT5 is doing well in pre-orders on that particular site as they have the game discounted and have heavily promoted that fact. Simple

@starcraft: yeah, that is strange... I guess its more for the sites users, rather then raw sales...

Isnt it ironic that Fable3 is over 2x more pre-orders than the supposedly huge GT5...I wonder if Fable3 will also push 360 sales

And sine when Xbox Games need japan to Smash Ps3 Exclusives in sales ?? haha

Halo 3 - 11M
Gears 1 - 6M
Fable 2 - 3.7M

did any sold anything in Japan ? NO.

@think-man

No it's not. Black Ops is higher on pre-orders than GT5. Read the article properly !
It's only one small online retailer that has GT5 higher than everything else. The major retailers GAME or Amazon have Black Ops and some even Fable 3 higher than GT5 this week.

Thats how gt5 is doing in europe, its topping all other games including black ops.

I wonder how Fable III will do not looking to good in Japan.

I wonder how GT5 will do not looking to good in america.

They should get the pre order numbers for GT5 in Japan and EMEAA, they would have around 500-1mill pre orders easy.

also what happened to make fable 3 get heap of pre orders??
