Call Of Duty: Black Ops II Is Amazon's Most Pre-Ordered Game
Call of Duty: Black Ops IIUnsurprisingly, the records are already starting to fall.
It's likely the first of several records Activision's blockbuster Call of Duty: Black Ops II will set in the near future, so don't be surprised to see a whole of similar headlines in the coming weeks and months.
Today, mega online retailer Amazon.com has announced that Black Ops II broke their record for the most pre-ordered video game of all time on any platform. It broke the record held by last year's Modern Warfare 3 (another big surprise), although they didn't provide exact numbers for either game. In addition, GameStop has previously revealed super-high pre-order numbers as well, and they're expecting BOII to become the biggest launch in their long history. By the way, just in case you had a bout of temporary amnesia, the new Call of Duty arrives tomorrow. Don't take the day off work or anything.
And by the way, if you're in the area, Amazon will be hosting a BOII launch party at the House of Blues on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles.

where will it level out and stop being interesting, Hmmmm... I would put money on next gen.
I just think that they will need to bring something out that will force COD players in to a different genre of FPS, in one way killing this cod trend but then creating another. like this COD MMO that has been mentioned, something like that could work brilliantly, but if it was as open and as huge as people hope it will be then 6 monthly installments of COD would have to dry up.. I guess that's when Micro transactions take over.
but then maybe it will never ever dry up... fizzle out or die?

Other company can learn a thing or two from Activision, no, not in terms of game quality but in terms of marketing.

Then later in the evening, I'll have another helping of some "Damnation" Steampunk desert.
Damn, I'm already feeling a bit bloated.....

every previous year if you dont preorder the standard edition, it sells out on release day!
the LE and super expensive editions sell out months in advance, but this time they had heaps in stock on launch day.
even had a few care packages in stock.
shocked, has the bubble finally burst or is it just a case of oversupply?
im betting the latter.
