EA: We don’t expect Battlefield 3 to beat Modern Warfare 3
However, the tone is quite different when they’re talking to investors and shareholders. EA CFO Eric Brown recently told a group of investors that they don’t expect Battlefield 3 to surpass Modern Warfare. Brown said:
“Just to be clear, the [Call of Duty] franchise did about 23 million units worldwide. We don’t expect to surpass them with this year’s Battlefield 3, just to be very clear.”
To borrow the phrase from Brown, “just to be very clear”, no one really expected Battlefield 3 to beat Modern Warfare 3 in terms of units sold, but it will most certainly give it a run for its money. Many industry analysts expect Battlefield 3 sales to top 10 million, and the game is off to a great start, if recent pre-order numbers are any indication: Battlefield 3 has been pre-ordered 1.25 million times to date, with a month and a half left until game launch.

TTG_KiiLERImJelloPoeticI was looking through the comments to find his and was going to comment comparing the exact same thing, but i was gonna throw in a ferrari too...oh wellRozy EVERY BATTLEFIELD FANBOY PLEASE SHUT UP NOW! Even the makers of your game said MW3 will win in sales and if they win in sales that means it is better. Its like saying a ford focus is better than a chevy camaro. CoD will always outsell and be better then battlefield games.
You know realize by your logic, you are saying a ford taurus is better than a bugatti veyron.
HEY LOOK GUYS IM RETARRDEDD AND I PLAY MW3!
Kids on this site need to grow up. If you don't want to play a game, then don't play it, You don't need to get upset becuase other people choose to play it, I will buy both games. Their two different games. You can buy both games if you want too, even the developers of these games don't hate on the other games. robert bowling played Battlefield and liked it, and of course he likes MW3. Seriously just grow up.

I love how they say they dont expect BF3 wont beat MW3 causing everything else blow out of proportion. They are talking about sales. There is a very low percent that bf will win because its a game that doesnt come out every year. Cod on the other hand does making it more popular. If BF came out every year and Cod took 2-3 years to come out, im sure the fight will be the other way around. BF will still beat in graphics, game play, and team work, but both will be good.

JohnTheProd I hope all you CoD fanboys do realize all this is saying is that BF will not sell more than CoD. This reason being of course, CoD has become such a cliche game. However, what they are saying is that BF is a better quality game and will be a better game, it just won't sell as much. However, as time passes and BF gets the recognition it deserves, BF or some other game WILL pass CoD sales. CoD's just a fad. I hope this clears this up.
This.
CoDs just a faze. It will be all done and over with soon. Some new game will replace it.
Eventually CoD is gonna **** up and make like a Halo lite becuase they ran out of ideas.
Not saying BF will beat it in the end but I'm just saying don't expect in 5 years for the same game to sell the most, it really could be any game.(I think Halo 4 is going to set Xbox records for sales IMO, atleast as good as Halo2 and 3 if not better.)
