Battlefield 3 went on sale in North America today having notched up close to three million pre-sales worldwide, according to internal EA estimates.

The figure is accurate as of October 24.

The game launches in Europe on Friday, October 28.

Three million pre-orders is impressive, and certainly bodes well for the success of the title in the weeks to come.

Sadly we’re not ready to bring you our review, but we hope to get our verdict ready for publication before the game’s UK launch on Friday. Those interested can find out why our Battlefield 3 review isn’t online by reading this news post – there’s also some early opinions from Martin.
