Call of Duty: Ghosts tracking to be 'most pre-ordered' game of year

4.7
Gamestop's VP of merchandising has put the kibosh on Call of Duty not being its blockbuster self this year.

"Call of Duty is an entertainment juggernaut and cultural phenomenon. We are excited for the upcoming release of the new installment of this blockbuster franchise, Call of Duty: Ghosts," said Gamestop exec. Bob Puzon. "We look forward to celebrating the worldwide November launch of this great game that is on track to be the most pre-ordered title of the year."

The statement by the mega retailer comes as a slight surprise, given the annualized release of the series had yet to show fatigue, especially in the face of next week's Grand Theft Auto 5 launch.

Last month, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg was quite clear that pre-orders for Ghosts were "well below the record-setting pace set by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 last year."

"Our quantitative consumer research indicates that hesitation amongst past COD pre-orderers is primarily due to not knowing which platform they will be playing on, which is natural at this time in the console transition," said Hirshberg recently, referring to the imminent launches of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

CommonSense Only children call people tryhards. And by tryhard you mean they don't **** around and actually try to win. Phuck them for trying to win, right?
1. i'm no child and children don't call others tryhards. 2. tryhards are your taking it too seriously and by way too much. not going into massive detail but you get the picture.


You sound like the type of person who makes fun of people for doing their homework.

I don't see GTA 5 coming close to CoD. Parents will buy under age player CoD, but not GTA 5 as much.

I really doubt CoD: Ghosts is beating GTA V. I really doubt it!

SpaceJamss The Lies I swear, The people who Pre-Ordered this over GTA V is 13- year old kids. GTA V Is Rated like R+ 19 (Making ratings up but its some truth) now. Still, Their Lying. "Most Pre-ordered Game?!" GTFO


"13 year old kids" most of the people who play cod are over the age of 16 :/
at least on the competitive side


Yeah i doubt that. I've seen so many 12-year-olds going tryhard. It's stupid.

I personally think GTA will come out on top for most copies Pre-ordered.

I feel that there is a lot more excitement for GTA then there is for COD: Ghost
