With Diablo 3 set to release next week, countless gamers are more than ready for the next title. So many that it hit a new Blizzard preorder record, which is no small feat. Additionally in an earnings call this afternoon, Mike Morhaime (CEO) said over 2 million gamers join in on the beta and 1.2 million signed up for the WoW Annual Pass, which includes a copy.

While these are some impressive numbers, Diablo 3 still has to live up to the hype. All of this and more should be known once the game releases next Tuesday.
