The pre-order chart for the Americas has just been released for the week ending July 2nd and as expected Gears of War 3 (360) still holds onto its top spot with over a million pre-orders.

Modern Warfare 3 (360) is beating Battlefield 3 (360) to second place by over 200,000 with Modern Warfare 3 (PS3) and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (360) rounding off the top 5.

Interestingly enough 8 of the top 10 pre-ordered titles are all on the Xbox 360, the highest pre-ordered title this week was Modern Warfare 3 on the Xbox 360 with over 80,000 units.
