Video game sequels see surge in pre-orders

Amazon.co.uk reports record number of pre-orders for this year's games

Posted on
Some of 2011’s most anticipated video game sequels are seeing significantly more pre-orders than previous releases in their respective series, reports Amazon.co.uk.

Amazon looked at current pre-orders totals on these titles and compared them to the previous game in the series, with the same of amount of time remaining until release. Battlefield 3 has seen the greatest pre-order boost with over 2,000% more pre-orders than Battlefield 2 had achieved.

Some stats include:
- Gears of War 3 - 216% more pre-orders than Gears of War 2
- FIFA 12 - 325% more pre-orders than FIFA 11
- Batman Arkham City - 349% more pre-orders than Batman Arkham Asylum
- Battlefield 3 - 2,302% more pre-orders than Battlefield 2
- Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - 488% more pre-orders than Uncharted 2
- Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - 321% more pre-orders than Call of Duty: Black Ops

We have already started seeing a great deal of excitement about the major video games launches for Christmas this year and that can be seen by how many people are pre-ordering these titles,” said Liz Hosmer, video game manager at Amazon.co.uk. "Call of Duty: Black Ops is the biggest selling video game of all-time on Amazon.co.uk and it looks from these figures like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 might well be challenging for that title come the end of the year.”

Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 both already feature in the top ten video game bestseller chart on Amazon.co.uk with more than 11 weeks until either title is released.
