Pre-orders make Halo 3 the most popular video game on the Japanese Amazon website.

Last week it was announced that Halo 3 will be released in Japan on September 27 and in somewhat of a shock, the game has been racking up the pre-orders like no tomorrow.

Japanese gamers are typically non-fussed by FPS titles, but it currently appears that Halo 3 could buck that trend. According to Amazon.co.jp, Halo 3 is the most popular video game item, ahead of titles including Dragon Quest Swords, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and the Pink DS Lite.

It's unlikely to remain atop the most popular list, but is nonetheless a positive sign for Microsoft.

It's currently sitting at number 2, beating DragonQuest: Swords, but behind ... a Gamecube game?!?!?

This is truly the hardest of the hardcore crowd!
