Bookies Call It For Modern Warfare 3

Stylish War 3 has already been declared the Game of the Yr by the only people who really matter – the bookies.

Activision's Modern Warfare 3 came out today and spell IT might seem a bit premature to declare it "game over," that's exactly what Irish bookmaker Paddy King is doing. The game has sold about a half a gajillion copies, give or take a bazillion surgery and so, and that's enough for the bookmaker to stick a fork in its 2011 "25-Dec First Videogame" betting.

"At odds of 1/16 this contest is comfortably and truly over," Paddy Power's Ken Robertson told CVG. "On its Clarence Day of release we are blessed to crown Call of Duty: MW3 this year's undisputed champion."

Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia foretold Modern Warfare 3 will move betwixt 5.5 and six million copies in its firstly 24 hours of launch and post a ten percentage unit gross sales growth over last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops, and ring up almost 18 cardinal unit sales in the December quarter alone.

Otherwise games in the running include FIFA 12 at 6/1 [this is the U.K., remember], Gears of War 3 at 10/1, and the real long shots, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 at 33/1 and Mario Kart 7 at 40/1. Not that any of them had a chance; the parthian time the Foretell of Duty serial failed to involve the top spot was in 2008, when World at War was bordered out by FIFA 09.
