Diablo III Amazon’s most preordered PC game ever
Posted 10 May 2012 by RushsterWe all know Diablo III will sell tons of copies, but for it to be ranked most preordered game of all times on Amazon was a small surprise. It beat a number of huge titles such as the Call of Duty franchise, Grand Theft Auto , Halo and Blizzard’s own Starcraft II and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

Call me silly, but I think a big part of all this was due to the fact that the game has been postponed and delayed lots of times that made people want it even more. I guess being a big tease about the game works wonders huh?
I can’t wait for the game!
I always chuckle at these. They only ever said they’re pushing hard for a 2011 release but that it might not happen. Delayed lots of times, ye.
The OP has many grammars.
What, you no likes surprices?
You say that, but DNF disagrees. THAT one was postponed forever.
And still managed to be a pile of disappointment, sprinkled with shattered hopes and dreams.
No DNF was released, they probability wish they scrapped it proper.
You’re silly.
Not surprised since the title states most preordered PC game. If it was most preordered video game (including consoles) then I’d be surprised
well if diablo would be released for consoles simulteniously it could get the overall most preordered. But im not willing to pay this price , it doesnt need to be most popular for me to enjoy it the most .
I agree. If they had the opportunity to release it in console, the sales would have been off the roof. Hardcore fans will definitely play this on PC, and those who doesn’t own one can play it on their consoles. The needs of different kinds of players will be catered with, resulting in more $$$.
I’m skeptical about that – some of the FPS games on consoles are hugely popular, and Diablo, great as it is, has more of a niche market.
Yeah, I’m not sure why Kaydee is mentioning Call of Duty and Halo, since titles receive most of their sales on consoles. They aren’t exactly big PC games.
BOOM!
Shocking.
“It beat the numbers of huge titles as the Call of Duty franchise”
I hope Bobby doesn’t see this. Oh no, I can see the title of the expansion already: Diablo 3 – The Brothers in Arms
People were waiting forever for this game.. no wonder why it’s most preordered. I remember with friends we were talking about when D3 gonna come out and that was year 2005
Diablo 3 will shatter all records… and soulstones
its a worldwide simultaneous release… has that happened before with blizzard?
All this means is more time to wait to login on launch, boo!
96 hours to go boys!
