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.

They mean that MW3 will sell more... What they do NOT mean is that MW3 will be a better game. Really it doesn't matter to me that MW3 sells more, because more than half of the population on MW3 is going to be under 15. So have fun with that while I will be playing with mature people that know a good game when they see one.

Rambo25 **** mw3 and bf3 gw3 and forza 4 ftw!I think gow3 is gonna be better than both, but cod and bf3 are still gonna be fun, this whole fanboy thing is pretty immature just because a game is going to outsell another doesn't mean it will be better...btw im picking up my copy of forza tommorow =P
although bf3 looks pretty sick...

DeadlyDasherBF3 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.
Oh look its another stereotypical CoD player calling me a fanboy just because of my name.
Just because my name says one thing doesn't mean i hate the other.
I still play CoD4/WaW and i think its pathetic that Infinity Ward and Treyarch are letting their best games get **** over by idiots with infections.
You should learn things about others before judging them.

I like how you do not even have to read what he wrote, but just look at the way he types to know that he is a COD fanboy.
