Hopefully, Zelda reaches 800k pre-orders and opens with 900k!! :) So, AMAZING IN America. Bomb in Japan :-P ??? in EMEAA, probably average.

Zelda jumped 100k this week, and only needs 110k to break 800k total Americas pre-orders. I think it's more likely to break 850k (hopefully 900k) pre-orders, and open somewhere between 1.2-1.8 million in Americas, 2-3 million WW. The reviews this game has gotten are nothing short of phenomenal.

It's really awesome that you included a Mass Effect 2 and 3 comparison, I really wanted to see that. I also expect Zelda pre-orders to jump next week with the exceptional reviews the game has gotten recently.

It's interesting to see, just looking at the Xbox 360 version, that WWE '12's pre-orders are more than the first week sales of the Xbox 360 version of Smackdown Vs. Raw 2011. I am assuming it'll sell at least double what SvR2011 did in its first week. I guess a lot of people, myself included, are excited about the changes coming to the franchise.

So AC Revelations is going to double FW sales of Brotherhood huh? Are you serious? Why? The series sold less with each sequel so far. I doesn't make any sense. Sorry but pre-orders must be overtracked.

I've never bought a Cod game, you AC fanboy. I even like AC and own part II and Brotherhood, but these number are just ridiculous, seriously
