So, if GameStop's figures are correct, Modern Warfare 3 could possibly surpass it's Call of Duty predecessor. NPD reported during the same month that the game was "the best-selling game in US history," topping the former title holder Wii Play with 13.7 million units sold. In March, a study from IGN claimed that 1 in 8 American homes had Black Ops sitting in the house. McKenzie failed to provide any preliminary figures for the title, but considering Call of Duty titles always set a sales record upon release and beat out it predecessor in the series each time, MW3 looks to set yet another record for Activision.Ĭall of Duty: Black Ops was UK's top entertainment title of 2010, moving 3,266,298 units for the year, and beating out other entertainment juggernauts such as Avatar and the Twilight series. Our customers' response to the reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been amazing." "Already, this year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is significantly ahead of that pace. "Last year, Call of Duty: Black Ops became the most pre-ordered title in our history," said McKenzie in a press release. As sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, pre-order numbers for a Call of Duty title are going to be huge, and according to GameStop, pre-orders for the latest outing are no exception.īob McKenzie, SVP of merchandising at GameStop has stated that Modern Warfare 3 pre-orders have already kicked-off at "a record-setting pace," and are already outpacing Black Ops which itself beat out previous record-holder Modern Warfare 2 - a title which “previously set the industry standard”.
