Battlefield 4 will sell 14M, can “coexist successfully” with CoD

4.5
Battlefield 4 will sell 14 million units, according to Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia, but notes that both it and Call of Duty: Ghosts can “coexist successfully” in the market even with both hitting retail within a week of each other.

In the note, Bhatia predicted one-third of all Battlefield 4 sales would come through PC, but that only 10% of Call of Duty: Ghosts sales would be through PC.

Sounds about right.

Bhatia said Grand Theft Auto 5′s release is far enough ahead of both titles which would “limit overlap,” and he feels Skylanders will remain the market leader in the toys-to-life genre – even with Disney Infinity looming.

I Dont think it will, i love battlefield, but cod is the biggest franchise and always has top sales.


It is very possible that Battlefield 3 can out-sell call of duty this time. There is considerably less hype for ghosts than there was with previous games.

Played Battlefield 3 and really enjoyed it! Probably because i didn't have to worry about winning and k/d unlike on CoD's

who knows ?


Definitely deserves to. Battlefield is just such an amazing game. They have so much more added into the game than COD does but yet they don't come up on top :/ This year really should be different.


It deserves too yes, but cod is always on top because of its name, you here a cod coming out, and even though they are the same, you get it every year, they are the most popular franchise, but battlefield does deserve it.

maXam I think everyones had enough of CoD and its outdated engine.
The new Battlefield will overtake CoD on a different scale!


It hopefully will pass Call of duty. Battlefield is a better crafted game in my opinion. From what i have seen there has been much more hype for BF4 then there has been for Ghosts


I know I'm way more excited for BF4 then COD: Ghosts. Battlefield deserves to outsell COD this year, COD has been up there for too long when there are way better games out there that deserve to have recognition.


Call of duty has sure been above battlefield for a long time. I've played battlefield since Bad Company 2 and it's about time the series deserves to pass call of duty in the sales charts. By this i am not saying that the Call of Duty series should die or anything along those lines.


I personally think cod should die... this is the 10th one they're making, and it's gonna be the same thing again


If it continues down the same path that is has been for the last 4 years then it will die very soon. Hopefully CoD ghosts can Innovate. If not we will see the franchise completely taken over by Battlefield
