I pre-ordered XenoBlade Chronicles.

I would like to request some Vita pre-order information. Uncharted: Golden Abyss or whatever is the best performing of the Vita launch line-up.

Slow week I doubt Twisted Metal can reach 250k in its first week in the U.S.A. And where is GTA V? Many of my friends have already started to preorder it. It should come up soon hopefully.

Millenium dsage01 (on 26 December 2011)

I would assume that as soon as we get a hint as to when it releases, pre-orders for GTA5 will pick up.

It should definitely start showing up on the chart pretty soon. :-)
