L4D2 Pre-orders Twice That of Original
33
Eurogamer:
Valve has told Eurogamer that pre-orders for Left 4 Dead 2 are twice what they were at this stage last time, despite the internet backlash and boycott threats.
"Our pre-orders are currently double what they were for Left 4 Dead 1 at this point in time away from launch," said Valve marketeer Doug Lombardi. "We're like 20 weeks out or something like that."

Why would i preorder when i have the original? Might aswell keep playing Left4Dead 1 as it looks exactly the same. Valve can do whatever they want, but this does not look like a sequel, it looks like an expansion.

I thought this came off as fishy.
Left 4 Dead 2 isn't even available for pre-order on steam yet. What pc gamer buys a Valve game from anywhere else? Think about it
This is xbox gamers shelling out their cash for mediocrity. Simple as that.

This has nothing to do with the boycotts. Its as simple as Left4Dead having a fanbase that naturally werent there before the game released. Ofcourse it will have more preorders, but will it actually sell better? To early to tell, but i have my doubts.

Probably every boycotter has preordered, since they must have been very into the first one.

lol, no... I could try to be funny and say probably all of them, but in all honesty none of these have signed the boycott petition. Im sure many people from the boycott might actually buy the game, but they wouldnt pre order it, and definately not this early. Its not like there is any real advantage with pre orders other then supporting Valve, which im pretty sure they arent willing to do quite yet.

Makes perfect sense.
The first one was a unknown entity but valve fans im sure were excited.
Shes a franchise now with a broader appeal to the masses.

The last game I preordered was GTA IV.
Walked into the Gamestop on my lunch hour and picked it up.
Of course the place was pretty quiet and they had TONS of copies on hand.
That was the last time I bothered preordering.

9 - If they care enough to boycott..
Then they loved the first game,and no fan of a game will deprive themselves of a sequel they really want if don't have to.
Valve knows this hence why they didn't give a toss about the boycott,Infact I'm willing to bet that half of those preorders are boycotters themselves.

1 - And pre-orders on the PS3 = 0
Even if it was on the PS3 it would still be 0 because droids don't buy games, only Blu-ray movies.

1.5 - God, 360 owners are such sheep
This is a rip-off if I ever saw one. I geuss if the PS3 lineup was that devoid of any good games L4D2 would be looking good to us too.
But really, this is nothing more than a glorified expansion pack. Just like L4D1, the value of this game will drop to under 20$ like 4-5 months after release. It's no wonder, everything about this game screams last gen, from the cookie cutter graphics to the clunky controls.
Like I said 360 owners are sheep, and the love getting ripped off. Valve doesn't have any other major titles releasing this year, so they are trying to pawn this off as a 60$ game. If I gave a damn, I would get the pirated PC version, which will probably leak like 2 weeks before the game even releases.
