Microsoft already announced it reached 1 million pre-orders a while ago. This 800,000 is only for North America. Recently, it has been increasing at about 50,000 a week, which means it is going to be WAY over 1 million in North America alone by September.
Also, you mention Uncharted 3, which is currently sitting at 52,000 pre-orders in North America. You can see the full chart here:

"While you only have 2 choices."
Uh... oookay then. I have more than 2 choices just between games I'm currently playing. L.A. Noire, DiRT 3, Outland, and LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars.
Fable III, published by MICROSOFT Game Studios came out for MICROSOFT Windows. Crazy, huh? If it was Sony Windows, than don't you think most of Sony's PS3 exclusives would come out for the PC as well? None of these stupid "exclusive lists" matter in reality. As long as you can play the game on your console, then who cares? Why does it matter who else can play it?
You don't get numbers like that with nothing.
What company tracks worldwide sales? When there is one, then we can have a graph like you want.
I'd like to see these two guys' reactions when MGS4 is inevitably announced for the 360 or as part of a special collection for the next Xbox.
Please let the cars actually have weight or even the slightest sense of realism this time around. No archaic PS2 driving physics!
@Ju: "An 8 from Eurogamer is actually a great score. They hardly give any game above that level."
Yes they do. Just this year:
June 1 - El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron (9/10)
May 27 - Frozen Synapse (9/10)
May 20 - The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings (9/10)
May 20 - DiRT 3 (9/10)
April 20 - Section 8: Prejudice (9/10)
April 19 - Portal 2 (10/10)
March 18 - Tomb Raider Trilogy (9/10)
Ma...
If you ever need an achievement/trophy guide for a game, you should just go to xbox360achievements.org or ps3trophies.org. Anyone not know this already?
I agree.
I'm afraid to see Edge's next review: "Edge: inFamous 2 Review". I have a feeling that one's going to be ugly. But good score for DiRT 3, nonetheless.
I have it on good authority that this article is true.
^ What is this? I don't even...
I only want to see some of those games if they don't come out this year, because my list of 360 games I want in 2011 is already too long for me to realistically purchase and play all of them.
How about "Project Natal"? That was just its code name and it turned out to be one of the biggest successes of this gen. Do you really think it would release to consumers with that name?
I approve of this list.
Because it's outselling its two competitors without any. Did you see Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo's Q1 2011 financial reports? Worldwide, the 360 sold 2.7 million, the PS3 sold 2.1 million, and the Wii sold 1.4 million.
It's certainly not a win for Sony any way you twist it. Also, nice opinion.
Are you the class clown?
