Latest Preorders Chart - Modern Warfare, ODST and Arkham Asylum dominate

The latest Americas preorder charts are here and Modern Warfare pulls away even further at the top with another 11 weeks to go before release. With over a million preorders now (Xbox360 and PS3 combined), Modern Warfare 2 pulls even further ahead of Halo 3: ODST and with

eleven weeks to go until release, could easily pass 2 million preorders in total by the time the game releases. Releasing this week, three games look like doing well over 100,000 copies - Batman: Arkham Asylum, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Each version of Arkham Asylum added around 50,000 preorders this week, largely down to very strong reviews and increased marketing closer to launch. As a result, we expect the PS3 version to come in at around 250,000 units week one and the Xbox360 version around 200,000 units and for both games to see favourable drops in
