Battlefield 3 pre-orders exceed 2 million

Battlefield 3 publisher Electronic Arts has confirmed the shooter has surpassed two million pre-orders.

Prior to the latest pre-order figure confirmation, the pre-orders for the game were sitting at 1.5 million. Now, EA product manager Kevin O’Leary told Fox Business:

A couple million out there. We already announced some great numbers so far. A couple more weeks to go, and we’re very excited.

We’re getting out in a great window. Obviously, holiday season is a great time to get the games out there. New thing for Battlefield, too, coming out in this holiday window, so we’re excited about it, to get it out there, get it in people’s hands.

Battlefield releases on October 25th in the US, and 28th in Europe.

Thanks, IGN.
