Analyst Predicts Modern Warfare 3 Sales will Double Battlefield 3

4.5
Sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are likely to hit 16 million units in the fourth quarter of the year, according to Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who believes Battlefield 3 will sell eight million copies globally during the same timeframe.

Pachter told Forbes that the two rival shooters should generate over $1.4 billion in revenue in the three month period, representing 15 percent of total packaged game sales.

He also thinks Modern Warfare 3 could sell an additional eight million copies in 2012 and Battlefield 3 another two million units, with many gamers choosing to pick up both games.

"I'd guess that around half of the console copies of Battlefield 3 will be bought by people who also buy Modern Warfare 3, so around two to three million will buy both," he said. "I don't see much cannibalization of the titles."

iheartgow3 who cares? BF3 will still f*ck up mw3. IDC what the world or anyone says. BF3 will R*PE MW3.


LMAO BF3 SUCKSS ALL THE BF SUCK..ONLY NON SERIOUS GAMERS BUY BF3..COD IS MORE OF A SERIOUS COMPETITION GAME FOR GAMERS..SOO GO FLY YOUR STUPID JET YOU FAGGGET

Are you stupid? oWait. Nvm.

ALL CAPS, Flaming, not making any sense.

We've got all the signs of a classic MW3 fanboy here. Everyone observe closely, be sure to keep your distance.

hahaha i laught so hard when i've heard MW3 is more for a serious gamer hahaha that is the worst thing that i have ever heard BF3 is for people that want to game serious common how old are you man so you are taking the words outta my mouth btw BF3 for the campaign and MW3 for the multiplayer


quite honestly i think anyone going to this length to argue which video game is better is pathetic.
COD and BF are not the same game, not the same develepor, not the same story, THEYRE NOT THE SAME. THEYRE NOT MEANT TO BE. quit comparing the two, if youre going to compare and contrast dont argue pointlessly as to which is better. STFU with your pathetic,ignorant arguements.


Lmao you fcking moron i didnt say MW3 was for serious gamers i said all the "Call of duty" COD " can you read you down syndrome faggget get that **** shot out your eyes next time..& Again like i said "Call of duty" is for serious gamers..BF is for stupid Little kids that like to have fun flying jets & helicopters, Ride tanks lmao..

Call of Duty is for serious gamers? That's why there's squeakers doing jump off 360 quickscopes, right? And I have not heard a single squeaker (like you) on a Battlefield game so talk to me when you've actually played a Battlefield game and know what the hell you are talking about.


TROOOOOLL FIIIIIGHT! I wanna join. Here's mai chance:

TIDDAYZ! Stfu faqs, faqs. GoW3>Halo>Forza 4>SKYRIM>Saints Row 3>MW3>BF3

And to all the dopes who defend BF3, saying "Quality over quality." Suck maii bawls. Do you honestly think the developers want 10 people to buy it, and like it alot, or 3000000000 people to buy it, and like it. derp.

P.S. Gears 3, please, don't try it. I want it to stay squeek-free.

It's called a 3 month old beta of the game to test the servers, it wasn't to tickle your pickle.

3OH3 Well that's a win for battlefield.

They said that they'd consider the game a success if they sold half as many copies as mw3 did...
Nice to see they are setting high standards. -_-
