I'll never understand what people find so fun in the bleeding FPS. Run/shoot/kill/die. Run/shoot/kill/die. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam.

I agree with pezus. Fable III had enormous preorders too, but the ratio to first week sales was almost 1:1. I'm expecting something similar with Skyrim. I'd love to be proven wrong though. It'd be awesome to have a massive blockbuster Xbox game with no guns.

In 3 weeks this pre-order list will be week. Next year doesn't look to great for any home console. Mass Effect, Halo, Final Fantasy, Twisted Metal, Bioshock, Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, Max Payne, MGS Rising, some PC games, and Kinect Star Wars.... :-/

Skyrim won't do 2-2.5m in Americas on 360 alone o.O, this is an RPG and they don't double their FW's don't double their preorders

I dunno, Elder Scrolls is pretty big on 360. I'd be surprised if it didn't break 2 million at the very least. Similar hype to CoD, and the same # of pre-orders as MW3 for PS3.

I am extremely excited for skyrim, more so then any other game this year, but its seems ludicrous that it will double its preorder numbers especially considering its "first week" will be only two days of sales.
