Americas Preorders Chart, 4 September 2010 - Halo Reach Dominates

"Halo Reach (X360) is on track to hit 2 million pre-orders to remain ahead of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (X360) in its final week before release. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP) is in its final week hitting 100,000 total pre-orders. Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) remains steady as other games start to pick up."

After seeing the sales of the other games in the Halo series, I'm not surprised in this pre-orders.

It's going to be HHHUUUGGGEEE!!!!!

[Game-ur]

??!!...don’t Sony advertize in the US(I don’t live their)? Preorders for first party PS3 titles are cold for some weeks; only significant increases are for 3rd party PS3 titles.

Where is Kevin Butlers "Gran Furismo Jive" commercial? If Sony relay only on the name of GT5 they will be in for a shock, they have great developers but their publishing sucks.

Edit:WTF…only 5 weeks until the release of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow ! It's down at the very bottom, another victim to bad advertizing? And I don’t see Enslaved or Vanquish anywhere.

[CrAnKiTuP_01]

Off-topic as hell.
What does Sony advertisement in America and PS3 3rd and 1st party games have to do with Halo: Reach?? O_o

[Hacking]

Halo Reach is a Unstoppable Force That Cannot Be Reckoned With my advice cancel any game coming out in september and this message goes to all developers who think they can compete with Reach.

[gunnerforlife]

wat does that go for exclusive ps3 games loool
so you think a game that's exclusive to 1 platform is gone affect another exclusive in another platform

[iceman2929]

If one owns both consoles and have limited resources to buy games with , its possible one could choose to buy reach over a ps3 exclusive...

[Omega4]

Forget Reach look at Fable 3 o_0

It could even be bigger than GT5 in the US, very surprising indeed.

[Imperator]

Well, NA is the 360's biggest territory and the PS3's weakest, so that's kind of obvious. Still, Reach is only 1 week away and Fable 3 is around a month away so it's obvious that they'd have more pre-orders since GT5 isn't coming out for another 2 months.

[cliffbo]

omgea4 why must constantly compare anything to the ps3 what's the matter jealous ?

[mobijoker]

Fable is a good rpg,but not great.There is already atleast 10 rpgs in market that is better than fable.On the other hand,GT is the uncrowned king of racing.But fable 3 will sell more becoz its also on pc.But if we consider sales/total possible consumers,then GT5 will beat 99% of the titles out there.

[Karooo]

20 million 360
10 million PS3

2 million preorders for reach are not surprising neither is fable 2.

i got a question? who cares about sales

[RememberThe357]

I care about sales because I want to see great franchises do well so that publishers can continue to justify their production. You know what happens to great franchises that don't sell? They get replaced.

[palaeomerus]

Retailers, publishers, devs, analysts, and some consumers care.

I've got a question too.

Who cares about the stupid or misguided people who constantly blunder into sales threads just to ask 'who cares about sales'?

[palaeomerus]

" people who try to justify there console purchase by not caring about exclusives, paying to play or anything...they get there satisfaction by the SALES. not by the games"

I have all three current generation consoles, and I generally don't much care about exclusives, though Halo is an exception, and I care about sales because I understand that they have a huge effect on what games we see in the future.

If exclusives don't sell especially well then it probably means that few people cared about them and they were probably a waste of time and money or need a great deal of refinement or marketing to get more popular. If they sell very well it probably means that they are already very popular. DUH.

I already justified my console purchases by them having some games I wanted to play before I bought them. That's all I ever expect from them. I don't care in the least if you'd agree with my decisions or if you are willing to pay to play online.

[hoops]

Fanboys of this site

[Bigpappy]

If GT5 were selling off the charts, the you would not be asking this dumb question. Sales is a real vote for a game, pluse more people to shoot on Xboxlive. It is also a great indicator of many other things I don't care to get into right now.

[interrergator]

i mean i love halo im getting it but guys like kartik21 who doesnt care about the last game the awesome gameplay and have a good time i guess it doesnt matter to him

[Karooo]

i love halo too

[bmw69]

Reach is gonna be a total monster...

[Halo_Reach]

are u mad ?

[Blaze929]

He mad bruh

[KillerPwned]

Why even show the charts this month lmao we all know what is gonna be on top.

[Theonik]

F*ck reach pre-orders look at black ops. o_0

[Poseidon]

everytime someone mentions gran turismo5 i go crazy lol, come on november...

[PandemicPrawn0]

Amazing pre order numbers for Halo Reach. Well deserved IMO.

Looking at the rest on the list, interesting to see Fable 3 doing very well.

First person shooters COD Black Ops and Medal of Honor as the 1 and 2 PS3 pre ordered titles (I keep getting told you guys don’t play a lot of third party FPS’s).

And Kinect Adventures at #12? OK whatever.

[Prcko]

nop m8,only saying a real truth!!!

[whydoyouask]

You do know that Greenburg was talking about the entire Halo franchise, not just Halo 3; they all sold sold over 34 million copies combined.

Now, unless the values of numbers has somehow changed within the last 5 seconds then what we are left with is 18.31 million< 34 million.

But hey, that's is just the truth...

Also, the last time i checked Microsoft was gaining headway with worldwide sales of the Xbox almost a little more than 50 thousand more sold than that of the PS3 WEEKLY.

http://www.vgchartz.com/hom... the FACTS are there under the Weekly hardware sales...

[BloodyCHAMP]

it will come out and rule the world, bungie will set the standards for other developers and show them what quality really is!!!

[never_waste_a_bullet]

like i want a faggy hat or bag, or w/e games give away

[pwnd_of_lol]

lmao in pre-orders of GT5... pathetic.

[Yangus]

I Gran Turismo fan not Halo,but i think Halo Reach very cool game and quality!!Halo Reach true system seller,hurry ap xbox and Halo fans!This game yours!

And i love Halo music,awesome.

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Despite the increase of XBL, you have Reach and Black Ops everyone will be playing. Not only that, Gears 3 will be out within a few months after that. That's why they grabbed the timed content for Call of Duty. By that time, everyone will be switching between 3 games online. Within 6 months XBL multiplayer will be busy. I know for a fact that GT5 will do well also. I'm going to get my cars from my PSP to have them on GT5 when it comes out. But I will be kicking the dogsheit out of these little brats on XBL in Reach.

[sanshatak]

who cares about sales?

YOU WILL,BUT NOT 4 HALO SALES,BUT GT5 SALES,I BET U WILL CARE.
XBOX OWNERS WONT CARE 4 GT5 SALES.
And u dont say we dont care about sales,or we play games not sales,as when gt5 comes out the first ones will be u who will say look gt5 sojd ?milion,but AS FAR ITS AN HALO SALES ARTICLE OF COURSE U WONT CARE.

Unlike you, I have gameplay statistics to back myself up.

[gamer8179]

More people are interest in cod back opps for the ps3 than they are for GT5. Maybe Gt5 won't be as big as everyone is making it out to be

[The BS Police]

Let alone the FPS genre is arguably the most popular genre in videogames currently.

[Hallmark Moment]

Agreed PS3 doesn't have 100 million fans/owners as past PS platforms.

[labwarrior]

Even Fable 3 destroys GT5 and LBP2 sales

Halo Reach has more pre-orders than all PS3 games combined in the chart

And Kinect adventures suprasses LBP2 preorders !!!!

[KratosGod3]

How immature u are, those are preorders not sold
I didn’t preorder any games for my console, but I'm going to get LBP2,GT5 and many more.

[ndibu]

Move releases in 1 week?

[whydoyouask]

well...i really don't know anyone that would be surprised by this...

I just want to see if it can break the Sound Barrier of 2 million pre-orders (on one console).

[KratosGod3]

A lot of 360 Zombies preorders wowwwww
Is amazing how M$ has control of many Zombies
All I have to say just Wowwwww!
I know I’m going to get a lot of disagrees but I’m not worry about M$ Zombies
"M$ ZOMBIES for LIFE"
