Analyst Predicts Modern Warfare 3 Sales will Double Battlefield 3
Pachter told Forbes that the two rival shooters should generate over $1.4 billion in revenue in the three month period, representing 15 percent of total packaged game sales.
He also thinks Modern Warfare 3 could sell an additional eight million copies in 2012 and Battlefield 3 another two million units, with many gamers choosing to pick up both games.
"I'd guess that around half of the console copies of Battlefield 3 will be bought by people who also buy Modern Warfare 3, so around two to three million will buy both," he said. "I don't see much cannibalization of the titles."

Don't care much for sales.
I want to buy the better game. Battlefield 3.
No Ms. MW3 fanboy, not opinion and preference.
-One game has over 60 awards. The other has 15.
-One has a groundbreaking new engine. The other is using the same engine since Quake 3.
-One has a friendly community. The other's community is filled with those under the age of 13.
So, you see? One game is good. The other is not as good.
Battlefield 3 > Modern Warfare 3.

God! I love the Timesplitter series. I wish I still have my copy and my PS2 memory card. Timesplitter 2 is my favorite FPS game.

Modern Warfare 3 is a video game. Battlefield 3 is a video game. Now shut the **** up because there the same and you shouldnt be arguing about which is better. -_-

This is pretty obvious. CoD is the best selling FPS of all time. Even if an amazing game like BF3 comes out, its not going to do better than CoD in one year.
