iNero Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Call of Duty: Ghosts is the most preordered title leading up to the October / November release season, according to research by an analyst firm. The data comes via analysts Cowen & Co, which compiles data based on NPD sale statistics and Amazon.com bestseller information. Titles are given a score based on patterns observed from these sources over the past five years, with the firm claiming its projections are between 96 and 97 per cent accurate. Call of Duty: Ghosts is the top ranked title at 73 points, followed by Watch Dogs and Grand Theft Auto 5 at 69.6 and 58.4 respectively. Cowen analyst Doug Creutz notes that Ghosts is currently under-performing when compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Meanwhile, Creutz admits that the ranking for GTA V is "almost certainly" incorrect, as the company's data only accounts for sales made since E3 2013. The title has been available for preorder since November 2012. Multi-platform games rank the highest, with the first next-gen exclusive title ranking fifth in the form of Killzone Shadow Fall for PlayStation 4. Forza 5 is the highest ranking Xbox One exclusive, ranking seventh. The list: 1. Call of Duty: Ghosts (73) 2. Watch Dogs (69.6) 3. Grand Theft Auto V (58.4) 4. Battlefield 4 (54.7) 5. Killzone: Shadow Fall (30.3) 6. Assassin's Creed IV (29.2) 7. Forza 5 (18.8) 8. Diablo III (18.2) 9. Batman: Arkham Origins (17.2) 10. Dead Rising 3 (15.0) 11. Ryse (13.2) 12. Saints Row IV (10.1) 13. Knack (7.7) 14. Gran Turismo 6 (5.0) 15. Beyond: Two Souls (3.3) 16. Wolfenstein: The New Order (3.2) 17. Drive Club (3.0) 18. Splinter Cell: Blacklist (2.9) 19. The Bureau: Xcom Declassified (0.4) 20. South Park: The Stick of Truth (0.2) http://www.computerandvideogames.com/42144...-sales-analyst/ Note the red marked sentence. Though Watch Dogs and Ghosts were available for Pre order before E3. Still think GTA5 has the lead. But Im suprised that Ghosts and Watch Dogs are that close to GTA. Probably because Watch Dogs gets released on 7 Plattforms and Ghosts on 6 while GTA5 only on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any"analyst" paid by a company to spread lies can make whatever bullsh*t lists he wants . If you look on the vgcharts Watch Dogs isn't even close to GTA V's numbers. I believe that more than this one. Also how can Watch Dogs have 11 % more pre order numbers than GTA V ? Did he pull this numbers from his ass or something ?

FutoDriver Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Any Analyst is correct. That also includes the guys at VGChartz, stop believing their B.S and passing it round as facts.

Neo Arcadia Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 V being behind wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. It's been more than five years since IV came out, so the average mindless teenager probably barely even knows the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey. Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just becuase it has more per orders doesnt mean its a better game, its more about the quality of the game itself, than pre order numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title has been available for preorder since November 2012. Sales since E3, according to VGchartz: around 116 000 for Xbox and 95 000 for PS3. That's about 211 000 copies. I somehow doubt that WD, on all platforms, can have more pre-orders than this. Edited July 30, 2013 by GTAaLEX117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0UDM0UTH Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Bro GTA is sh*tting on both of those games, check the VG charts. Besides what are "points" compared to actual numbers? http://www.vgchartz.com/preorders/ Keep in mind that GTA is banned in some countries, affecting pre orders and even sales.

gwaha Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 NikoBellic, why do you care so much about GTA 5 having to have more pre-orders than Watch Dogs? Did Ubisoft steal your lunch money or something? Seriously, I don't see a reason to care in such a way which game is being pre-ordered more. The quality of the game is what matters, not the amount of pre-orders.
