Can BF3 lower the sales of MW3 (less than 20 million combined)?

I find this irratating. You guys(BF fanboys) already know BF3 has no chance at outselling MW3 so you say "the next battlefield game will definitely outsell the next COD". Then next year you'll say "the next Battlefield". It's annoying.....
Call of Duty has no chance of losing its throne so save your predictions until we have a few months of pre-orders for both games.

Anyway BF fanboys hate COD and say that yearly releases are going to kill the franchise and I GUARANTEE that EA will release Bad Company 3 next year. It's no different than Black OPs/Modern Warfare cycle.

I bet EA will release another FPS to compete with next year's COD and I bet it's Medal of Honor instead.

Of course they will. And it's not a bad strategy at all.

Instead of releasing the same game year after year like CoD (and by "the same game" I mean new  iterations of the franchise) they have 2 franchises that allows them to launch a new game of said franchise every 2 years. That also has the benefit of having 1 studio per franchise (not 3 that have to work together to make 1 game) and giving the developers more time to come with something new.
