"Black Ops outpacing Modern Warfare 2 in pre-orders", says Analyst

Pacific Crest analyst Evan Wilson has said Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops is getting-ordered faster than Modern Warfare 2.

According to him, the game could move 12 million units during the holiday season, giving it a 20 percent increase over his previous holiday estimate of 10 million units for the title.

Wilson changed his projection after speaking with Pacific Crest retail contacts, which cited more preorders for Black Ops than MW2 this time last year.

However, Wilson said with each Call of Duty title setting sales records with each release along with excellent long-tail sales, the trend ended with Modern Warfare 2.

Wilson said Black Ops is unlikely to have as long of a tail as MW2 due to “competition, weaker marketing, and the Infinity Ward situation"

We'll obviously find it one month after its release.

Call Of Duty : Black Ops will be released on November 11th for the PC.
