Go Skyward Sword! And excellent figures for Gears of War 3.
Like 5 games on that list I want. Zelda, Diablo 3, L.A. Noire, Batman: Arkham City and Gears 3. I haven't even beaten Portal 1, so Portal 2 can wait. I do want Duke Nukem as well, but there's no rush for that.
Portal 2!
Portal 2!
If pre-orders for Gears of War 3 continue to be like this week's, then there's a good chance that it'll shift around 2 million units in its first week.
impressive numbers for Gears 3 :o

Yes, really impressive to see the good preorders of Nascar 2011 on the Wii...But not any chance to see it in Europe...
I am patiently awaiting my copy od Uncharted 3, can't wait to play it in 3D
@GianCarmen Shh! The Wii is dead, remember?
I am surprised that no one is talking about how well Nascar 2011 is doing on the wii. Over 72,000 preorders and still 7 weeks away.

lol probably people are waiting for preorder deals for uncharted 3...
its tacking well above reach, and black ops did not yet have preorder data 24 weeks before launch. I wouldn't expect reach Americas numbers though as they are bound to slow after the beta.
Where's Uncharted 3? Come on my fellow Americans. Get your act together.
can someone tell me how gears of war is tracking compared to say halo reach or black ops
