WOW FIFA 12 is huge compare to FIFA 11 who sold 97k Week one. What happende to american? DO they like soccer now!!!?
Do Americans still call it soccer?
And they call a sport in which they carry the ball with their hands football ... right.
Everyone knows that is should be American rugby instead of football, but since all the other rugby's are much tougher (less protection, less pauzes and more playtime) they gave it another name.
Atelier Totori
Gears is smokin If they can beat halo reaches pre orders that would be huge.
Hello Forza Motorsport 4, welcome to the Top 20. You're late, BTW.
I think GT5 going platinum could hurt Forza 4.
Uncharted is starting to pick up some steam...hopefully it starts doing 20k a week soon
damn zelda :O number 3 most preorder newly added, also again uncharted,assassin's creed revelations,batman,eelder scrolls charts XD
Ooo, Oooo! Gears of War 3 is putting up a fight for the most pre-ordered exclusive in this region (and likely worldwide).
I know Gears of War is more popular then Halo in EMEAA (Halo 3 sold about 40% as many units in EMEAA as it did in Americas, Gears of War was closer to 60%).
So does this mean Gears of War 3 is the most pre-ordered video game exclusive to date?
As for a request: Mass Effect 3 (PS3)
I'll trust your math, so yeah, GoW3 could very well be the most pre-ordered exclusive game this gen!
halo 3 has sold more man 3 million in emeaa, reach has already done 2 million. gears 1 and 2 did about 2 million so no gears isnt more popular in emeaa.
Dark Souls number pls!
Ico collection numbers plz!!!

super mario 3D land please
I'm telling you, Zelda haters are way worse than fanboys. In fact, they're more fanboys than Zelda fans. They're just fans of different game series and "hardcore" junk.
Just look at all those thumbs down just for being happy for Zelda. =/
Ico & SotC Collection.
Dark Souls

Atelier Totori please. And wow at both Gears and WKC II. One is improving significantly from it's previous game while the other...has not. What a shame.
Yeah FIfa is quite high, maybe because Klinnsman is doing a great job with the national team?
Request: Forza 4 and Saints Row 3
Forza 4 is already on the list.
Forza Motorsport 4 is already on the list. Its the very last one.
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL PRE-ORDERING CALL OF DUTY?
Its the same thing from the last 1000x sequels!!!!!!!!!!
360 owners should support Gears3 and Halo: CE instead
God of War: Origins
Zelda :)
Rocksmith ? Just dance 3 & dance central 2 :)
PS3 owners must be smarter than 360 owners...and by that I mean because they aren't pre-ordering the abomination that will be Modern Welfare 3.
Battlefield 3 & Modern Warfare 3 (PC) please!
Go Zelda!
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (PS3)
I request Dark Souls too.
Zelda will be number 1 next month, I hope so
