It’s still more than six weeks to Christmas, but Modern Warfare 3, which goes on sale today, is looking so likely to outsell all comers that one bookie is already paying out. Paddy Power is already settling bets on Modern Warfare 3 as odds reached an absurdly definitely-happening 1/16, and is only offering 5/6 odds that it will go on to become the best selling video game of all time.
With Modern Warfare 3 out of the equation, FIFA 12 is looking the next most likely according to the gambling giant, at 10/11, with Gears of War 3 at 2/1. Oddly, it’s also giving 12/1 on Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which is absurdly low considering the game only went into full production this Autumn, and isn’t expected for several years.
