According to the pre-order data Battlefield 3 is heading along the right tracks.

According to Cowen & Company Analyst Doug Creutz, channel checks”indicate that pre-orders are roughly comparable to those of Call of Duty: Black Ops last year, which has gone on to sell over 20 million units”.

He has since upped his expected sales for Battlefield 3 from 8 million to 11 million, however he also mentioned that Modern Warfare 3 pre-orders are currently tracking ahead of Battlefield 3 and Black Ops.
