Prior to release, Modern Warfare 2 was pre-ordered over 150 units per minute. This stat is claimed by many online retailers.

The latest news about Call of Duty: Black Ops is also of same type. According to Treyarch, Activision’s CoD: Black Ops is beating MW2 in regards of pre-orders.

An analyst from Pacific Crest Securities, Evan Wilson, confirmed the news in terms of pre-order Call of Duty: Black Ops is beating MW2.

Earlier it was estimated that Black Ops sales may reach 10 million, but now the estimates goes a bit high to 12 million units. This is what analyst predicts.

Wilson also says that it is better if CoD: Black Ops does well in pre-orders because it won’t do much after its release in sales. He has a reason behind it. He says it is due to “Competition, weaker marketing, and the Infinity Ward situation.”

Well, one thing is sure Wilson mentions that Black Ops would surely beat the largest entertainment launch in the history of gaming industry.

Let’s wait and watch till November 9th.
