 Battlefield games sell for years on the PC. The community was huge and probably still is on BF2. BF1942 is still played a lot to this day and it released in 2002. Being on consoles will only make BF3 bigger. 

So how BF1942 sold (shipped) 2.5m from Sept 2002 to June 2006? You think it sold more from 2006 to date?

Huge community on PC <> sales.

If BattleField 3 sells that much (6-8m) it will be the first in the franchise.

  • September 10, 2002 - Battlefield 1942 released
  • October 10, 2003 - 2 million copies sold
  • March 15, 2004 - 3 million copies sold
It sold 2 million copies in 13 months and then a further 1 million in 5 months. So it's sales pace actually increased after the first year. It has probably sold over 6 million by now.

 

What? These numbers come from...

Lastest official numbers from DICE:

 There no way BF1942 sold 3 million at March 2004.
