Thats mighty impressive for Bloodborne. I think it will sell very well by the end of its life span.

And Halo 5 still at NO.1 is great too for a game still far off. Hopefully it delivers an awesome experience.

And great to see The Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight on top 5 too.

And to see Witcher 3 numbers on PS4 almost equal the PC and Xone pre orders combined is great too. My guess PS4 will be the sale leader in both Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight.

You also want to consider Witcher 3 PC pre orders on Steam and GOG CD Project Red's own store.
most of the pre orders are digital on PC

TheJacksonRGN3334d ago

I'm curious. What is the point of posting this now, almost a month later?

MRMagoo1233334d ago

It's vgchartz , is there any point ever really ? I mean made up slightly close numbers are made up slightly close numbers no matter when they come out.

morganfell3333d ago

Exactly. If you look at the preorders available on an hourly basis for Amazon, Walmart, Gamestop, and Best Buy, vgchartz isn't remotely accurate. Not even in the ball park as regards the correct title. Look at Amazon as one example. It has been a good litmus test of overall market performance. What was the top preordered game March 21st? The same game that currently sits on top the charts for preorders at Amazon. The Witcher Wild Hunt for PS4. What is it at Best Buy? Mortal Kombat X for PS3. vgchartz is just one big lie after another.

Halo 5 viral marketing seems to be paying off. For the first time since Halo 1. I am actually looking forward to the single player campaign more than the mp.

Lets restart and finish the fight....again!

StrayaKNT3333d ago

Wow halo 5 is really the most anticipated game this year it is absolutely phenomenal how many people are waiting for it. I can't imagine how many more worldwide pre orders there is for it including most of my friends.

DevilishSix3333d ago (Edited 3333d ago )

Hope 343 can deliver because three strikes and they are out in my book. Halo 4 story and multiplayer was AWFUL, the graphics were good though. MCC was a disaster launch it has taken months to be anywhere close to playable and some still have problems. 343 needs to deliver on this one.

StrayaKNT3333d ago

Halo 4 story was one of the best in the Halo universe I loved it; the multiplayer I loved as well I remember at the time I didn't even know it was being made by different developers and they absolutely delivered a solid game which I loved and played so much and is up there for one of the best fps out.

But I can also see why people did dislike it because of all the Spartan abilities and loadOuts.

Halo 5 is going back to its roots with no loadouts and everyone being Equal.

The Halo 5 beta was honestly the best Halo mp I have ever played in my life I think 343 have absolutely nailed it and to be honest halo could be the biggest and best game this year and it's got pre orders because everyone knows that.

You also need to remember that 343 weren't working on mcc, they were working on halo 5 while mcc was being put together so to be honest 343 are up there as one of the best developers in the industry imo. Not only do they make good stories but they have amazing multiplayer to back it up.

mhunterjr3333d ago

I don't think Halo4's story was bad... But the story telling was pretty poor. But that's pretty much been a problem throughs the whole series (just amplified with 4) I'm just now going through the Halo extended universe media, so now halo4's story, for me, has gone from awful to awesome.

Halo4's MP was truly aweful though. But to be fair, it was just a continuation of the CODification started by Bungie with Halo Reach.

MCC was a horrible launch in terms of MP. There's no way around it.

The way I see it, 343 has had a lot of time to learn from any failing with this franchise. If the current marketing campaign is any indication, they are aiming to tell a better story. The Halo 5 beta has convinced me that they are returning the MP to its halo roots. And the MCC experience, if anything, will make as smooth launch the number 2 priority with Halo 5.

Those 3 things give me confidence that halo5 will be one of the best Halo games to date. And given their recent failings, I'm sure they are well aware that they can afford any more blunders.

Gazondaily3333d ago

I don't care for preorders. Just hope its a good game. Multiplayer beta was great. Lets hope the SP is great too.

Last chance 343!

SpaceRanger3333d ago

It's great to see Halo getting the anticipation going for it.
I think, in my assumption, that the most anticipated game will be one that will be shown tomorrow. Either way, the more games the better! MGSV is definitely another contender for this year.

How about sequels instead of just replaying the same games with better performance and fidelity?

I would’ve taken a Dead Space 4 over Dead Space 1 Remake, especially knowing the sales on 1 Remake killed anything for the future.

xHeavYx17h ago

I agree, but there are some games that would really benefit from the new tech though, like the first 2 InFamous games. Some of the old Tenchu games (for us old people)

darthv721d 15h ago

No remasters needed... things can be upgraded with post release patches and DLC. There should be more new games or at least sequels that people have been asking for. Give me Bloodborne 2 over a remaster any day.

anast1d 12h ago

I agree. But, sadly, at this point, I would day 1 a Bloodborne remake or remaster.

neutralgamer19921d 11h ago

There are many new games being released monthly so there is space for remakes and remasters

MinnesotaFatts1d 11h ago

You say that, but the only way I can get 60fps on Bloodborne is with a cracked console.

D0nkeyBoi1d 14h ago

This is the most boring console generation yet. I can only ever find new games on Steam. PS5 and especially Xbox are boring right now. Less more remakes please.

anast1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

I enjoy renting a new janky CRPGs on PC from time to time. But, I've been playing new games on the PS5 since it came out, and a lot of those games people want to come to PC because the game selection sucks over there.

Fishy Fingers1d 12h ago

PC game selection sucks?

Come on bro, its cool to like your console but but no need for the obvious passive aggressive comments. PC and Nintendo are basically the only platforms with exclusives these days. PC is getting all the big console (PS5/XB) games sooner or later.

anast1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

All the CRPGs I care to play/rent have come to console for the most part. No need to use my gaming PC much these days. Now, those old games are severely overpriced on console which would be a point to argue.

slayernz21h ago

what you on about mate???? lol, i never said anything about AAA only being on console, i replied to original post from donkey saying heaps of games out there, ....just chill out bud

slayernz1d 12h ago

think you should open your eyes mate, there are a ton of games to play, i havent played a so called 'AAA' game in about a year, been having way too much fun with indies

anast1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

I play Indies on console. My eyes are open. You might need the eye opening if you think only AAA games are on console.

Friendlygamer1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Remasters are interesting for less accessible titles, things like silent hill 4 the room, alundra, viewtiful joe... remastering stuff that's already avaliable is a bit of a waste. I would love a kings field/shadow tower collection

truthBombs1d 14h ago

A simple update or port on more powerful hardware is enough. Improve framerates to 60+ and that's good enough. I would love to play Bloodborne on Steam Deck.

anast1d 12h ago

If they optimized Bloodborne like they did with Doom. I would have that game on every device in the house.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein44d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers43d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long43d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius43d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

redrum0615d ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius43d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
