Call of Duty: Ghosts leading software preorder sales - analyst

4.8
Call of Duty: Ghosts is the most preordered title leading up to the October / November release season, according to research by an analyst firm.


The data comes via analysts Cowen & Co, which compiles data based on NPD sale statistics and Amazon.com bestseller information. Titles are given a score based on patterns observed from these sources over the past five years, with the firm claiming its projections are between 96 and 97 per cent accurate.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is the top ranked title at 73 points, followed by Watch Dogs and Grand Theft Auto 5 at 69.6 and 58.4 respectively. Cowen analyst Doug Creutz notes that Ghosts is currently under-performing when compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Meanwhile, Creutz admits that the ranking for GTA V is "almost certainly" incorrect, as the company's data only accounts for sales made since E3 2013. The title has been available for preorder since November 2012.

Multi-platform games rank the highest, with the first next-gen exclusive title ranking fifth in the form of Killzone Shadow Fall for PlayStation 4. Forza 5 is the highest ranking Xbox One exclusive, ranking seventh.

The list:

1. Call of Duty: Ghosts (73)
2. Watch Dogs (69.6)
3. Grand Theft Auto V (58.4)
4. Battlefield 4 (54.7)
5. Killzone: Shadow Fall (30.3)
6. Assassin's Creed IV (29.2)
7. Forza 5 (18.8)
8. Diablo III (18.2)
9. Batman: Arkham Origins (17.2)
10. Dead Rising 3 (15.0)
11. Ryse (13.2)
12. Saints Row IV (10.1)
13. Knack (7.7)
14. Gran Turismo 6 (5.0)
15. Beyond: Two Souls (3.3)
16. Wolfenstein: The New Order (3.2)
17. Drive Club (3.0)
18. Splinter Cell: Blacklist (2.9)
19. The Bureau: Xcom Declassified (0.4)
20. South Park: The Stick of Truth (0.2)

Sheeptacular I personally, am more excited for GTA V. But most of the games up there are pretty logical, i'm excited for more than half of them


I agree. The games I am most excited for this year are definitely Battlefield 4 and GTA V. Both are at the top of my list.

I'm more excited about GTA 5" I don't know about COD: Ghost it's probably going to be another MW3 and it doesn't have zombies" I'll just stick with my Black Ops 2

Homunculous not preordering it but will still get it. With all the hate it recieves I'm very surprised


Many people hate on it but still buy it for some reason.. If the series fails to innovate i'm sure that the sequel to ghosts will not sell very well at all
