Final Fantasy XIII pre-orders hit 475,000 units this week, with over 70% of those for the PS3 version. For week one sales, I don't expect the split to be quite as strongly in favour of the PS3 version because whereas a lot of loyal Final Fantasy fans (the kind who would pre-order) will be PS3 owners, the more casual buyers will be more evenly split between consoles, as well as the Xbox360 bundle that is being offered and heavier advertising for the 360 version. For week one sales, I'd estimate around 400,000 on PS3 and 250,000 on Xbox 360.

Looking ahead to the following week, God of War III and Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver look like fighting it out in a straight battle for top spot. Both should do around 600,000 - 700,000 units week one in the Americas but it is hard to call a winner at the moment, it will be close. Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening should be good for nearly 100,000 units in week one across 360 and PS3 - not bad for an expansion pack.

April sees a bit of a quiet period for big new releases, only Splinter Cell: Conviction looking like breaking 200,000 in week one at the moment. Monster Hunter Tri and Super Street Fighter 2 should do well for Capcom and heading into May we see the likes of Alan Wake, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Red Dead Redemption and Lost Planet 2 which should all do well.
