Over 5 million on consoles.

- It's made by id
- Bethesda is a phenomenal publisher
- It will have groundbreaking graphics
- With its vehicles it's much more varied than other shooters
- It will have a great multiplayer
- It will get over 90% Meta

10 million is impossible though because Battlefield 3 is the game that's going to hit 10 million and challenge CoD this season, there's no room for a second challenger right now.

You think the 3rd Battlefield outing can almost double the sales of the 2nd game? I guess 2 doubled 1. But going from 2.5 million up to 5 million is easuer than going from 5 million to 10 million.

Absolutely.

Remember how Call of Duty went from a 4-5 million (CoD1&2) franchise to a 14 million franchise (MW) in just one season.

The popularity of shooters on consoles exploded with MW (and obviously Halo made the groundwork bla bla, but this is not a history lesson). Respect and hype for Battlefield 3 is insane.

The only thing that will reduce BF3 sales from the 15 million level is that a few million prefer the superior PC version.
