‘Some May Leave Call of Duty for Battlefield 3′
This time it’s Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter weighs in on why Call of Duty’s Elite service might cause some players to “defect” to Battlefield 3.
We expect EA’s game (Battlefield 3) to perform exceedingly well, eclipsing the 6.5 million units sold by the last iteration, and think that Activision’s introduction of Call of Duty Elite (its premium subscription service) could cause a small number of loyal Call of Duty players to defect to EA’s game.

He also thinks that there’s a chance that Modern Warfare 3 could set another entertainment record, yet again. This time toppling Black Ops’ 20 million units sold…but Battlefield 3 might cause Acitvision’s shares to come “under pressure” if it does really well.
While we think that Activision’s 2011 Call of Duty sales have the potential to eclipse last year’s mind-boggling 20 million units, due primarily to the network effect created by the game’s remarkable 17 million weekly active unique online players, we think that the company’s shares may come under pressure when EA’s game is launched, particularly if Battlefield 3 receives a 90+ Metacritic score.

Do you think Pachter’s correct in his analysis? It could just be me, but I suspect Battlefield 3 will sell significantly more than Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Call it a hunch, if you will.

im leaving call of duty for battlefield, 60 percent of call of duty players are kids that only care about trickshots and gay youtube videos, the percentage is much less for battlefield, where teams actually die for the capture point, plus activision rob us with dlc PRICES

I might tbh, I'm tired of CoD's terrible servers and the face I'm always at a disadvantage because I have the best internet possible in my area. And blackops is oh so terribly bad.
