Let’s face it: Call of Duty: Black Ops will sell more than a few copies. ¡Gran día! In fact, Amazon tells me that the incoming data indicates the game is being pre-ordered at such a pace that it has overtaken other big media items, including Halo: Reach and Red Dead Redemption. It’s even outpacing the DVD release of Michael Jackson: This Is It. Michael Jackson was a famous musician, I think.

Of course, this also implies that the game will surpass its immediate predecessor, Cal of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. You know, the game with that dumb No Russian level. That was a high-water mark in civilization, to be sure.

So yeah, the game will be huge. Stop the presses, etc.
