thanks for the support. I wonder if vgchartz can handle such a request though as it's pc and all :p
Uncharted 2: 188,000 (1 week from launch)
Uncharted 3: 155,000 (14 weeks from launch)
Should put any doubts to rest. This game will sell great.
resistance 3
uncharted3 what is going on with you.NOO! wtf! is wrong with america?
didn't you know and can't you see that america is full of Xbox360 fans
noo need to worry.... uncharted 2 only finished with 180k in preorders and did fine.... this one should have a strong couple of weeks before launch
Could Mass Effect 3 (360) reach 700,000 pre-orders in its final week before launch?
Also, I'd like to know what the pre-orders currently are for Bioshock Infinite (360).
Can I make a blanket request and add Resistance 3 every week?
Saints Row 3 and Warhammer 40K: Space Marines (Both consoles) Please :D
Wow. Look at the star wars game go. Over 100k in a single week.
Whoa. Looks like Battlefield 3 will be huge. Can't wait to play that one.
My requests are: El Shaddai and Final Fantasy 13-2, both PS3.
To bad there are no such charts for europe. Would like to know the xenoblade preorders.
Wow, Uncharted 3 dropping in between BF3 and MW3. Way for Uncharted 3 to have a relatively low launch. I expect UC3 to out leg BF3 long term though. Sad that ME3 on PS3 hasn't appeared on pre-orders chart, I'd like to know what the ME3 pre-orders for PS3 are. ME2's a top 10 game of the generation for me, so far, and it's the #2 multiplat GOTG for me.
FFXIII-2 (PS3) please!
Dead Island (Xbox & PS3)
Mass Effect 3 ps3
Rage on PC and PS3?
where is resistance?

Wow Gears 3 pre-orders have really crashed. I hope they can pick up, and I wonder if they will over surpass Halo Reach weekly pre-orders.
Why did Star Wars get so many this week? Did they just start taking pre-orders for that game?
Requests: Forza 4, Mass Effect 3 for PS3, Last Guardian.

I think EA should just cater to Microsoft like Activision does....obviously putting exclusive things on the PS3 versions of their games does not help one little bit
Modern warfare 3 FTW!
