God of War III, MAG, Mass Effect 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 look to be the big winners in Q1 2010
With nearly all of the big 2009 games out of the way, the big Q1 2010 titles start to take their positions on the preorder chart. God of War III, MAG and Mass Effect 2 lead the way but a number of other big titles are also starting to pick up some strong preorders.
The full top 40 can be seen below. Note that since we didn't do a preorder chart last week, the "weekly change" actually represents two weeks of preorders.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks looks like struggling to pass 150,000 units in week one - this would be fairly disappointing for a new Zelda title but strong holiday sales should propel the title to over half a million units in the first few months. Rogue Warrior and The Saboteur also look like having disappointing first week sales - 50,000 units across PS3 / 360 for each game may be about all that is possible.
