Disclaimer: I love both developers, I think both games look awesome, and I hope they both succeed but I thought I'd share this cause I found it surprising.
I went to Best-Buy yesterday morning to pick up my copy of RDR and when I was in line at the cashier they brought the games up.
The lady bringing the games asks the cashier "How many Red Dead should I leave here for the pre-orders?"
The cashier looks at her list and says "Just leave the boxes here."
Next she asks "How many Alan Wakes?"
The cashier looks at what appeared at first to be a blank piece of paper and replies "Just one."
I know this is only one store in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, hardly a good test group, but still I was a little shocked.

Alan Wake and Red Dead Redepmtion at my Best Buy
I am not. RDR got much more hype then Alan Wake.
Plus. Pre orders do not all ways mean big sales. When MW2 came out 90% of the people who came did not have a pre order.
Cool, hopefully they'll both do well (I'm confident they will). Just thought it was interesting.Plus. Pre orders do not all ways mean big sales.
I never really ckecked into the pre-order bonuses for Alan Wake, I'm curious if this is simply a result of Gamestop having a clearly superior offer.
