EA: We don’t expect Battlefield 3 to beat Modern Warfare 3
However, the tone is quite different when they’re talking to investors and shareholders. EA CFO Eric Brown recently told a group of investors that they don’t expect Battlefield 3 to surpass Modern Warfare. Brown said:
“Just to be clear, the [Call of Duty] franchise did about 23 million units worldwide. We don’t expect to surpass them with this year’s Battlefield 3, just to be very clear.”
To borrow the phrase from Brown, “just to be very clear”, no one really expected Battlefield 3 to beat Modern Warfare 3 in terms of units sold, but it will most certainly give it a run for its money. Many industry analysts expect Battlefield 3 sales to top 10 million, and the game is off to a great start, if recent pre-order numbers are any indication: Battlefield 3 has been pre-ordered 1.25 million times to date, with a month and a half left until game launch.

See i mean yeah battlefield is an amazing game, but bf3 and mw3 aren't even a fair match up. They are just two totally different games and attract different people. I will buy both and already have both preordered but its just MW3 will be more outplayed when it comes down to it.

BF3 Quality > Quantity
A game wouldnt have quantity if it wasnt quality.
Which is something you BF3 fan boys dont seem to understand. COD wasnt just released and instantly gain millions of fans because it was COD. It gained all those fans because because the game is fun, and people play games for fun.

RozyDescribe I hope BF fans will STFU now.
I totally agree. I am buying both but battlefield 3 has no way of beating MW3 and even the makers of battlefield say this.
