According to Dice, Battlefield 2 sold 2.25M in it's first year on the PC. (June 2005-June 2006) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2 I assume it sold a few more copies in the next 3.5 years. |
1. I did that research before and the link is dead and I haven't found any other link on Google for that 2.25m figure. No news report - nothing.
2. This site tracks EVERY Battlefield 2 player that at least created a BF2 online profile: http://www.spieler-daten.de/bf2_global_stats
This means that there are ~ 1.7m player with an online account.
Now we know that the Battlefield series is heavily focused on multiplayer, so I'd say that at least 75% of all BF2 owners created an online account.
With these numbers it sold around 2.2m.
Never in hell more than 3m. That's for sure.
