EA’s big FPS hope for 2011, Battlefield 3, has seen preorders rise by 2302 percent over Battlefield 2 – a huge number in anyone’s calculator.
The figure, which comes from online retail giant Amazon, shows that EA’s huge press and marketing campaign is starting to pay off. Will it be enough to shift Modern Warfare 3 from the top of the charts this Christmas? Probab;y not. But it’s a sizeable chunk of the market nonetheless.
Battlefield 3 launches on 360, PS3 and PC on October 28.
