How exactly are "notable mentions" decided? What makes them "notable"? Because there are a lot of titles that got more pre-orders than the "notable mentions". It feels like they're just whatever the author happens to be cheering for at the time.

You make a valid point. It seems like Fable Anniversary which was released on Feb 4th would have made a notable mention. Also, with the beta testing of Elder Scrolls Online it would be interesting to see how many preorders are for the console versions. Even a chart would be interesting to view.

I'm surprised Destiny isn't getting more POs on PS360. I made some predictions that are going to be massively off. :p

Titanfall will unfortunately sell over Infamous, but I'm surprised the preorders are even close. Not bad?

Titanfall will outsell InFamous in North America. Europe & Japan are a different story, so worldwide anything can happen.
