The
real truth is that most agents go in for a two - book deal at the get - go, and that most publishing houses are ready to
sell through the
number of copies they need to
sell to make the book a «success» in their eyes by the time they even offer the contract.
Still, the
real test will come once both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 have been around for a few weeks, but based on simple
numbers alone it seems as though Battlefield won't be taking the crown away from Call
of Duty yet, despite having
sold an impressive five million
copies in its first week, exactly half
of the total ten million
copies which were shipped out.
