Prediction:

The game will sell the most on PC.

my predicition is it will be the most priated game ever

no, because DICE isn't going to screw PC gamers over like Activision did with MW2. Plus Battlefield is a highly respected franchise for all PC gamers.

No matter how quality the title is or how well respected the brand is, pirates are pirates. This game will be the most pirated, if not the most then 2nd highest, after the next COD installment.

Going by last years numbers:

PC Game Downloads on BitTorrent in 2010

as of December 26, 2010

#	game	downloads	released
torrentfreak.com
1	Call of Duty: Black Ops	(4,270,000)	(Nov. 2010)
2	Battlefield: Bad Company 2	(3,960,000)	(Mar. 2010)
3	Mafia 2	(3,550,000)	(Aug. 2010)
4	Mass Effect 2	(3,240,000)	(Jan. 2010)
5	Starcraft II	(3,120,000)	(Jul. 2010)

not unlikely. And BF3 will have a campaign and even co-op, so there is just as much reason to pirate it as BC2. However it comes out a bit later than BC2 last year, so it could be a bit less, though probably still in the top 5.
