Modern Warfare 3 Could Break Black Ops Sales Records
Modern Warfare 3 is going to be a big hit, says Pachter.
However, Black Ops is not untouchable, according to Wedbush Securities' Michael Pachter. He believes Modern Warfare 3 could surpass sales of 20 million units, a figure he predicted Black Ops has sold to date in May. Officially, Black Ops has sold 13.7 million units in the United States. However, the shooter has likely sold many more copies than that, as it has graced the NPD's top 10 software list often since its arrival.
Pachter justified his belief that Modern Warfare 3 will break Black Ops' record "due primarily to the network effect created by the game's remarkable 17 million weekly active unique online players."
Pachter believes that Activision's introduction of Call of Duty: Elite--a stat-tracking and social application--could cause some Call of Duty fans to "defect" to Electronic Arts' Battlefield 3, which ships before Modern Warfare 3 on October 25. The beta for Call of Duty: Elite launches on Thursday.
Modern Warfare 3 outselling Black Ops is not a completely wild prediction. GameStop reported in June that preorder figures for Modern Warfare 3 are tracking ahead of Black Ops'. Additionally, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has previously stated his belief that each entry in the series will outpace the last.

From the looks of the trailers , It is basically the same as MW2 but with new multiplayer elements . I'm going to be renting this to see if its any good.

AmbicidalTTG_Bxking441 There is no doubt MW3 will beat black ops record
MW3 is gunna be big
it might break the sales record, but it' still going to be bad. the game is running on a broken mulitplayer system.
I agree with that

OutbreakGamingshadow1 I really doubt that. From what the E3 trailers were showing, not many people are excited. And from what MW2 was like, im pretty sure not many people are still going ot buy it. Just because this game is the succeser of Cod 4, doesnt mean it will be good. Where i live, Black Ops still has over 200 more pre orders in all 3 of my game stops than MW3, the same with BF3.
Are you kidding me? MW2 is a 100 times better then Black Ops. MW2 is the second best COD and yes it did have some issues with noob tubes and death strikes. But it was a good game. I played MW2 all the way up until Black Ops. For Black Ops I was tired of it after 2 weeks.
Danger close, noob tubes, famas, deathstreaks, nuke, game breaking glitches,quick scoping so easy a baby could do it, mods, hacks, shitty dlc, barely any post launch updates, shitty community responses and this game was better than black ops? you people have to be **** kidding me
