pc portal sales suck
it`s really amazing, that portal 2 is much more for XBOX than on PS3. I know, the userbase is bigger in favor of xbox, but to get Steamcoop play, and PC Version for free
Portal 2 for PC sells insanely good: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

Socom 4 is gonna fail. MK looks good and great job for Portal! But I doubt the 360 version sold that high compared to the Ps3 version
Gears 3 will likely be the third best selling game of 2011, behind the 360 and PS3 versions of Modern Warfare 3.
Cant wait to see how big Conduit 2 opens to.
How is Final Fantasy XIV still on this list? GTFOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Xbox 360 owners in America are citizens, PS3 owners are foreigners from Mexico,Afghanistan,Russia,Turkey and Asia.. i know because i live in the US
No Conduit 2? Dayum. Here's hoping for a 100k WW opening!
SOCOM 4 > Killzone 3 What the hell are you talking about? I played the beta for both games and Killzone 3 just plain sucks, SOCOM 4 is fun.
OMFG! socom 4? really? I dont mind if U.S PS3 owners likes shooter but god damn atleast go for a quality one like KZ3 or something.....what is wrong with you ppl!!
I love that we are gonna see 5 new games on the chart next week...
Portal 2 looks like it'll sell better on 360 and Mortal Kombat sales are not meeting my expectations :(
where is the preorders for portal 2 on pc? but yet you cant track the digital downloads though which is valve's bread and butter for these games.
Portal 2 on PS3 comes with a PC/Mac version of the game and Has Steam Compatibility... But, since PS3 Owner's wallets are spent on the exclusives we got... Portal 2 on PS3 will not sell as well... because right now... Xbox 360 has No Good games out and people are desperate to play something new...
Wow portal 2 360 had a big jump compared to the ps3.
this is messed MK more under tracked than homefront.
Zelda doing fine... no release date, nothing new in months, and still 105k... Sounds good...
So 3k? Really? No jokes? Not trolling? No bug/typo? No jokes with my face? srsly?
