Mass Effect 3 PS3 & PC please.
Request: FFXIII-2 and Rune Factory - Tides of Destiny (PS3).
LOL Halo Anniversary has more then Uncharted 3. PS3 gamers dont know how to support their exclusives
I believe you'll find this is the americas preorders, the only region in which the 360 actually does better than PS3 anymore. And by better, I mean a lot better, Uncharted 3 is a first day buy for me, and I will be preordering it this week personally, in my opinion it seems to be the best game for this holiday season, it's beta was some of the best gameplay I've ever had the pleasure of playing :)
uncharted is undertracked no doubt
Jedidiah-Rose you liked the Beta? I don't think you play multiplayer a lot.
Personally I think the only PS3 exclusives with good multiplayer are Killzone, Resistance, and MGS. Even then Killzone is the only one I'd play long term.
Uncharted is a 1 player shooter/AA game. People buy it for that, and that's what it will sell for. Not the online.
Looks like Forza Motorsport 4 pre-orders have already topped Forza Motorsport 3's and it still has 3 more weeks to go for 200k. Series has strong legs, I hope this one breaks 5 million before bundles come in.
Request: Mass Effect 3 (PS3), Dark Souls (Both), Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Both)
Final Fantasy XIII-2 please!!!!
Look at Skyrim! My dream of 8 million lifetime on consoles alone come true.

Cursed Crusade (PS3)
request for Lord of the Rings: War in the North
request for Dance Central 2
Good numbers for battlefield 3
Battlefield 3 might end up selling as much as the First MW!
I think Mass Effect 3 will be a monster hit.6 months left for it's release and already close to 250,000 pre orders.What were Skyrim's numbers 24 weeks from release?
Mass effect 3 won't sell many copies, you know... Look at you Mass effect 2 360 version only sold 2.5 million while Oblivion manages to pass 3.5 million c
Beseides, Masse effect 3 got delayed that's why it got preorders. ME3 got delayed because of Skyrim
mass effect 2 will pass 3 million eventually on 360. also dude shut up with that. mass effect 3 didnt get delayed cause of skyrim it was because the game wasnt going to be ready 21 months after ME2 and maybe they didnt want to release it so close to SWTOR(december).
ME 2 will do 3 million on 360 and maybe 1 million on ps3.
ME3 3.5 million 360 1.5 million ps3. If it has multiplayer and its actually really good 4 million on 360.
GO BATMAN, GO!
Dark Souls
Kinect Sports: S2 please.
Seriously why? Casual gamers tend to not pre-order games anyway.
I think it will show us how strong will kinect be this holiday.
Damn! This is a good request. I would add Dance Central 2 as well. I'll ask for it next week. That and Just Dance 3 for all platforms.
aliens colonial marines please.

skyrim pc plz
oh and the point of pre ordering is so you can make sure you get the game on the day of release even if the the store has more copies than that is pre ordered they usually don't sell them to people that didn't pre order them. These stores include WalMart, Best Buy, Target, KMart, Gamestop, and PlayNTrade. Trust me i have tried at most of these stores they say the same thing come back tomorrow to get the game.
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (PS3)
I still don't understand the point of preordering... are you guys that hard up for those bonus character outfits or weapon layouts at Gamestop or something?!?
Back in the day (like during the SNES and N64 days) it made sense to preorder a game to ensure yourself a copy, especially around the holidays since their launch availability wasn't nearly as much as it is today for the average big title. Today you can walk into any store on launch day and pick up a copy of whatever game you want. I have yet to go into any store on launch day and be told that they were sold out of whatever game I was looking for.
some of the bigger titles do end up being sold out in certain store but mostly people preorder the game for the bonuses. If you are getting the game before it gets a pricedrop might as well get a few nice perks as well.
Feel the same here. And 'IF ' I preorder a game it's just 1 week before launch or something. But i don't see why people pre-order a game months before the releases.
Mario Kart wii was sold out for months, but thats the only game i can think of in the past years that was sold out.
How many preorders did Halo 3:ODST have 8 weeks before lauch? Halo: CEA isn't doing as well as ODST did I think.
Saints Row 3 please
I find it kind of lame that twisted metal isn't in the top 20
Why? Twisted Metal isn't a 2011 title, and it's not even a big franchise.
Skyrim PC version please
Starhawk plz!!!
I must add that I believe Skyrim is undertracked on the PS3. Sony fans love RPGs too.
Skyrim will be huge those who disagree are batches
These charts suck. It's all shooters here.
