Can a mod hammer down these duplicate threads? They are basically asking the same thing.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

COD hate = normal behavior

EA/Dice absolute love, trust = not normal behavior. 

I don't think the battlefield 1 love is genuine. So no, it won't sell more. 

I say this as someone who prefers battlefield by miles but all this nonsense smells fishy.  COD haters weren't going to buy COD anyway and new COD haters excited about a battlefield marketing deal (for some odd reason) weren't going to buy it either and likely won't buy battlefield as well.  

They will both likely sell as they always do and all the battlefield love will shift once titanfall 2 gets announced.

Pretty sure people speculate this will finally be the time Battlefield wins every time a new one comes up against COD. It hasn't happened yet though and I doubt it will happen this year either.

Yup.

When BF3 released just before MW3 everyone was on the RIP CoD bandwagon, and it didn't happen in the end, it wasn't even close.
When BF4 released just before Ghosts (the worst received one by the fanbase in the franchise) everyone was on the RIP CoD bandwagon again, and again didn't happen in the end, not even close.
When Titanfall released in early 2014 everyone thought it would be RIP CoD on Xbox 360 and Xbox One due to BF4 releasing just a few months earlier as well, and Ghosts kept standing.

I say yes

BF1: 10-15 million, close to BF3
COD: 20 million

BF has declined a lot since BF3, BF4 decline was awful, and Hardline made it even worse. Remains to be seen how much they can get back of the BF3 crowd.

COD has a market of millions of casual kids and teens to tap into, and now MW1 Remastered is gonna be an incentive to bring the old people back.



Nope.

Battlefield 3 was at 17 million by end of September 2012. It has surely sold well over 20 million right now. 10-15 million is way lower than Battlefield 3.

BF will be lucky to sell half as much

Even the bigger CoD games ever usually can't do much more than 30 million (usually is in the 25m range).

So let's say Infinite Warfare sells 30 million, you think Battlefield 1 will be lucky to sell 15 million? Probabily way less than that then, 10-12 million? Really?

It will probabily sells >10 million only in 2016.

Yep, series declined a lot so expecting less than 15 million.
