Speaking with USA Today, the chain’s executive vice president for merchandising and marketing, Tony Bartel, has revealed “As of today, the number of pre-order reservations we’ve taken for the game is the highest for any title we’ve ever sold in our 6,200 store network.”

As a result, he’s on record predicting the game will be “the biggest entertainment launch of all time”. It’s OK, Halo 3. You had a good run.
