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.

Describe 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.

Old first
Really man stfu it's old at this point. I really don't think that it will beat MW3 because MW3 has a vice grip on PS3 and 360 shooter genre. It may put a dent in MW3 but I doubt it will beat it. I'm getting both because I believe that they will both be good games, but I guess that only time will tell who the victor is.
