Amazon Wii U pre-orders rise after Gamescom

Project CARS is the single game with the biggest rise in pre-orders following the show.

The world's largest online retailer Amazon has released some interesting numbers that shows how the pre-orders changed during Gamescom last week. And it turns out Nintendo was the big winner - the one company that didn't even have a press conference. The reservations for Wii U games increased with a whopping 8,67% and that's more than Microsoft's and Sony's percentage rise combined.

The one single winner was Project CARS though and it increased 42,3% and second best game was Rise of the Tomb Raider which rose a hefty 30,25% after the announcement of the game being exclusive for Xbox One at least next year. Here's the full chart:

1. Project CARS (Slightly Mad Studios) 42,3% increase
2. Rise of the Tomb Raider (Square Enix) 30,25%
3. Bloodborne (Sony) 16,08%
4. Hyrule Warriors (Nintendo) 11,77%
5. Quantum Break (Microsoft) 10,77%
6. Far Cry 4 (Ubisoft) 9,53%
7. Assassin's Creed Unity (Ubisoft) 9,44%
8. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (Warner Bros) 9,03%
9. Battlefield: Hardline (EA) 8,81%
10. Super Smash Bros for 3DS (Nintendo) 7,56%

Naturally these increases say nothing about the levels from which these games or Wii U rose from, but it is some sort of indication as to what games really gained some traction at the show.
