Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz says Battlefield 3’s pre-orders match those of Call of Duty: Black Ops’ last year- the game broke a shitload of records, and went on to sell over 20 million units, so I suppose EA would be pretty happy right now.
Figures “”indicate that pre-orders are roughly comparable to those of Call of Duty: Black Ops last year, which has gone on to sell over 20 million units,” says the analyst.
As I said, Ea would be pretty happy, since Black Ops went on to sell like hot cakes.
