What a news. A sequel who is being more pre ordered than the the first succesfull iteration of the franchise.. Awesome..never happened...

 

And yet people still believe sequels are only bought by people who own the original, and thus won't sell more than the original or push hardware sales.

So it is news to some people..............

 

What people are saying is that a higher percentage of the second game's sales will be from preorders due to the fact that it is no longer an unknown quantity.  Has nothing to do with whether or not the game will end up selling better in total sales.
