| binary solo said: Black Ops II PS3 has more pre-orders this week than Halo 4. Is there a chance Black Ops II on PS3 pre-orders will explode and catch Halo 4? Will it open higher than Halo 4? It's got an extra week of pre-orders up its sleeve and it looks like BO II on 360 is taking some of Halo 4's air. I can't believe the CoD juggernaut managed to knock Halo off it's 360 perch this gen. TBH I prefer the top selling game for a console to be an iconic exlusive rather than a multiplat. Looks like Nintendo is the only company that will carry on that tradition. Last gen PS2's best seller was a multiplat, but GC and XB flew the exclusive flag. but this gen brand Xbox fell to the might of the dominating multiplat...well there's Kinect Adventures I suppose... technically the best "selling" Xbox 360 game. |
Black Ops 2 ps3 actually had a far bigger gap in preorders last week than this, so it looks like the gap is actually closing for now. But it also depends on the last 8 weeks of preorders. Halo Reach preorders absolutely exploded 8 weeks out.
Just as an example, 8 weeks out gears of war 3 had 500k more preorders than halo reach and by 1 week out halo reach had a 100k lead. If halo 4 gets a similar boost it should definitely at least get more preorders, though call of duty usually seems to get a bigger preorder to first week boost than halo.
