Final Halo 3 preorders reached nearly 1.35 million this week, which should be good for an opening of nearly 2 million units in the Americas alone (over 2.5 million worldwide). VGChartz will be posting day 1 numbers when they become available in the next couple of days so stay tuned. Uncharted 2 saw a large boost this week as the marketing push begins for the game. At the current rate of preordering, the game could see an opening of 250,000 - 350,000 in the Americas in the first week. The full top 40 is listed below:

There are a number of new games showing up this week, mainly due to the large number of new releases this week which has cleared a number of spots in the preorder chart. Wii Fit Plus is a large gainer - like most casual titles, preorders won't really begin to pick up until close to release and even then the game will perform far stronger than the preorders would suggest. Expect to see a similar thing with New Super Mario Bros Wii - 85,000 preorders already is hardly a poor performance but first week sales should easily top 500,000 units and long-term sales will be tens of millions.

A number of 2010 games feature on the list - Splinter Cell: Conviction, Mass Effect 2, BioShock 2, MAG, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and God of War III are already positioning themselves to be very strong performers in Q1 2010 - opening weeks in excess of 250,000 are pretty much guaranteed.
