@jimreilly EA: "The Medal of Honor Warfighter launch is below our expectations." uh oh

@jimreilly: Battlefield 3 has shipped 17 million copies to date.


Didn't EA themelves say in a press release that Battlefield is on its way to becoming a Billion Dollar annual franchise? Wouldn't they need to kill Medal of Honor in order to do that? Looks like this latest MoH just gave them an excuse to finally pull the plug.


Oh god, please no. I could never handle seeing Battlefield turned into a yearly series. :( First of all, it would require a second developer to alternate yearly releases with, which is just a big no-no considering that DICE are the only ones who truly understand what makes the Battlefield experience so great.

Please EA, don't.

"Coupled with today’s announcement that FIFA sales have crossed 7.4 million, EA president Frank Gibeau commented that “On the strength of our digital extensions, FIFA and Battlefield are the two biggest revenue events in our company’s history. Both are well on their way to becoming billion dollar annual franchises.”
