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."

First of all Cod has never had quality and quantity at once since CoD:4. It has been on the same engine since then and it's a dated pice of sh1t! Quality definetly beats quantity. Learn about what you talk about before you say it. BF3 FTW!!! n16645

I doubt that you don't know what's engines means. Go back to preschool. kid.

Well what he is saying is completely true, they have only added small tweaks to the engine. So therefore it is
outdated.

Lol your both wrong, the engine is old but they have modified it alot, not just a few tweaks
Second BF3 is **** lol, the campaign was horrible and so will be the multiplayer just like the beta
Mw3 will take a **** on Bf3 just watch
wow... CoD fanboys much lol im not a bf fanby, im getting both and both are going to be great but bf personally dosent get eniugh credit, they both habe their pros and cons :)


I never said that MW2's engine is out of date.....

Any people who said "mw3's engine is out of date", you need to go to game design school or search on Google before you make sense.

Lots of people think Engine is a graphic.. Don't be stupid.

A game engine is a system designed for the creation and development of video games. There are many game engines that are designed to work on video game consoles and personal computers.

The core functionality typically provided by a game engine includes a rendering engine (renderer) for 2D or 3D graphics, a physics engine or collision detection (and collision response), sound, scripting, animation, artificial intelligence, networking, streaming, memory management, threading, localization support, and a scene graph.

Battlefeild 2 may have good graphic, but It's absolute not a realistic graphic, not even close. Period


wow, good job, someone knows how to use wikipedia...

We all know what an engine is the physics in CoD are so unrealistic it makes me depressed. BF3 has very good physics period.


BF3 is a super unrealistic, Period.

You don't use xbox controller in the helicopter or jet. duh
Lol
It's a video game dude.

BF3
Ambicidal Don't care much for sales.

I want to buy the better game. Battlefield 3.

No Ms. MW3 fanboy, not opinion and preference.

-One game has over 60 awards. The other has 15.
-One has a groundbreaking new engine. The other is using the same engine since Quake 3.
-One has a friendly community. The other's community is filled with those under the age of 13.

So, you see? One game is good. The other is not as good.

Battlefield 3 > Modern Warfare 3.


Couldn't have said it better myself.



very good piont couldnt have siad better GO BATTLEFIELD

I agree with this. Call of Duty outsells Battlefield every time, so why not this time?

Well, only 2 more weeks and then MW3, can't wait.
:(

Wow, the Battlefield fanboys and CoD Fanboys Fighting again.
Both will have there pro's and con's.
Cod will be better for one user and Battlefield will be better for a different user.
