VGchartz expects 160K for homefront but THQ says they sold 375K... 0.o

This is messed I don't know who to trust for Homefront numbers THQ or Vg

Bornyn (on 17 March 2011)

Gears of War 3 doing amazing))

GuiltySpartan77 (on 16 March 2011)

Whoah only 4 ps3 games in the top 20 that doesn't look very good to third party publishers.

GuiltySpartan77 (on 16 March 2011)

Someone had to have made up that 5 360's to 3 ps3's thing lol that sounds like such a lie.

Homefront preorders > Crysis2 preorders? seriously it should be the other way around

Vueguy (on 15 March 2011)

Homefront will flop on PS3 just like Bulletstorm. it's not even on top 20 pre-order on PS3 lol. also Crysis 2 hehehe, nowhere to be seen on PS3 pre-order hahaha.

Orlik666 (on 15 March 2011)

Crysis 2 gonna flop. Look at Xbox 360 version, there are 2 weeks to launch and it still don't pass 100 k. It will be huge fail like Bulletstorm (which was a huge disappointment itself, gameplay sux ). It's gonna be hard year for EA

Joel12345 - there are 5 360's for every 3 PS3's. It makes sence that pre-orders are of a grade higher. BTW Where are the 3DS games? I NASCAR honestly tracking above Super Street Fighter IV 3D??

Michael-5 (on 15 March 2011)

Gears of War 3, 28 weeks to launch, gets the second more pre-orders this week? This game is going to rock hard, it's already tracking way above Halo Reach. Maybe this game can do more then 7 million..
