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)

ExoticWolfs This doesn't surprise me at all, doesn't matter how bad it will be, it always comes out on top. People just keep buying their games over and over, I think BF4 deserves to be in #1 or another great looking game.


Well, people buy it because there is not other FPS like it.

GTS cod ghost might be game of the year i think


Haha yah CoD Ghosts has the same chances of winning game of the year as "South Park: The Stick of Truth." With games like "Watch Dogs" and, especially, "GTA V" i dont think it has a chance.

I don't think that call of duty ghosts will become game of the year seeming that there is many other high quality games being released over 2013. My money is on the last of us

The saints row franchise is simply more popular than the Splinter Cell franchise at the moment. It's the same with Call of duty ghosts being on top of BF4

And yet CoD: Ghost will get the most hate, again..

I don't think any of the CoD games are bad, except for Black Ops, but people are so incredibly picky.. Makes me sick..
