Mass Effect 3 is doing so good!

Moren (on 14 November 2011)

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

Michael-5 Moren (on 14 November 2011)

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.

Infinity (on 15 November 2011)

Soul Calibur V (PS3)

Infinity (on 14 November 2011)

STARHAWK please :)

reviniente (on 15 November 2011)

Amalur looks very promising and people seem to agree!

Michael-5 (on 14 November 2011)

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.

Michael-5 (on 14 November 2011)

Request: Fire Emblem 3DS

dsage01 (on 14 November 2011)

Starhawk and GTA V please

Salnax (on 14 November 2011)

Mass Effect is going to be a proper monster.

mightymek (on 14 November 2011)

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.
