Gamasutra: 'Expect MW3 to break all sales records. Again...'

Haters gonna' hate, but that's not stopping Modern Warfare 3 from repeating what Black Ops did last year, according to Gamasutra.

Key points:

pre-orders for Modern Warfare 3 are at record levels

MW3 to top $1bln before Christmas

BF3 'won't knock MW3 off'

Call of Duty a franchise of monster hits, only rivaled by Grand Theft Auto

Interesting article, read more here!

Thoughts? :?

Also, please no hate. This is not suitable for the sticky, as it has nothing to do with the MP reveal, or CoD XP itself. :)

Probably will.

Doesn't bother me, massively marketed IPs that are* commercial hits tend to do that.

Somehow I think this will be the one to have fewer sales but maybe not. It just seems like it HAS to be losing popularity right now (like Guitar Hero did after a few years).Lethalhazard

Why? :| Looks better than ever.

Love MW2 and still play it online every week.

Hated with all my heart BO and hope it burns in hell (with Crapcom by it's side).

Love the new MW3 mp videos as they look like MW2 but better. Day one buy for me.

Fine with me, people can buy what they want, and the masses want CoD. It's not any more or less deserving than any other military shooter. I won't be buying it though.

I bet you will, though, when you see all your friends playing MW3.

Nah, I'm a Counter-Strike player and most of my mates play CSS.

and the activision money train gains more steam....

the more sales the more predictable and similiar the title is, imo.

i don't mind playing through the SP once, but i'll wait for it in a sale first.

not worth full price.

I am a BF player, so I'll buy BF 3

I've played and bought every COD to date, I'm not jumping on the MW3 train. It's getting rediculous now... I can wait. BF3 imo looks more promising to me.

probably will only people who should care is stockholders when it comes to these kinda things tbh.

MW3 could sell 9 million copies on day one... for all we know.
