Call of Duty has been at the top of the shooter world and arguably the video game world, setting entertainment sales records for two consecutive years. If pre-orders are any indication, Activision has a legitimate chance at posting record sales for a third year with Modern Warfare 3. Activision boss Bobby Kotick said as part of today's earnings announcement that the game has "significantly exceeded" pre-orders compared to Black Ops at this time last year.
The same was said for Modern Warfare 3 by U.K. retailer GAME several weeks ago.
Kotick also has very high hopes for Activision's new social service, Call of Duty Elite. "We believe that Call of Duty Elite, which was built for Modern Warfare 3 and is expected to launch with the game on November 8, should redefine social connectivity for multiplayer gaming," he boasted.
