More people have pre-ordered Diablo 3 than any other game....ever. The number probably won't be public till the day of release cause it's still rising.
The next two games are WoW: Cataclysm and Starcraft II. Blizzard pwns the video game market? yep.

Yeah we probably won't get the final tally until a week or so after launch. Though its probably a safe bet that it will set records. Maybe even approach the mighty CoD MW3? Doubtful, but we'll know soon enough.

i dont think they hold the record but i could be mistaken.
they stated that d3 was the record holder for pre-orders among blizzard titles, but im not sure they are the record holder for most pre-orders of all time. again i could be mistaken. and yes amazon did state that d3 was the record holder amongst game titles bought thru them.
safest bet is to wait a few days/weeks after launch to get a final asnwer. that being said i didnt/havent preordered

Taken from the link provided to Amazons statement: Originally Posted by Papir

And the post is only about preorders on Amazons own site...

No. Just no. It's the highest PC game ever. Keep in mind there are FEW AAA games that are PC exclusive. Originally Posted by TommyJohn

Amazon in EU (several different websites de , fr, uk) indicates they no longer can guarantee the delivery date.
It is the SECOND time around someone at Amazon fxxcked up with a Diablo franchise.
Remember the first one was the out of stock Diablo Cain book.
In both cases Amazon ordered way too few copies... they ran out of stock even before the launch
Mmm does anyone remember 2004 ... and another little Blizzard game that was going through this phase ...

While pre-order records get me excited, I'm more interested in knowing the total amount of copies sold like a month after launch
