Battlefield 5 Selling Less Than Expected, EA Revises Projected Revenue
All major retailers are currently selling Battlefield 5 at discounts between 33 per cent to 50 per cent, which isn’t a good sign either. EA hasn’t been pleased with how Battlefield 5 has been performing on the market (via Seeking Alpha), while its lower than expected sales have even resulted in the publisher lowering its revenue projections for the financial year of 2019 from $5.55 billion to $5.20 billion.
Apparently, EA and DICE’s decision to launch the first person shooter with significant content missing and instead choosing to release it in fragments post-launch has been one of the primary reasons for its disappointing sales, in spite of positive reviews. At launch, Battlefield 5 was missing an entire War Story episode (which was recently released as part of the first chapter of Tides of War), the co-op mode Combined Arms, and the battle royale mode Firestorm, both of which arrive in March of 2019.

They just released it at a terrible time. I get it's a big AAA title, but battlefield doesn't compete with what they were up against.

I don't blame dice for this. ea is a shit publisher that makes companies hit quotas with their own terms of micro transactions, release dates, and bad attitudes to companies

Did you really think sales would be great releasing it unfinished? I never really liked this series and the fact they want to pull this will make me avoid it even more. I really only like BF4 and its probably going to stay that way XD
