We have 3 weeks worth of sales data. And it has already had an effect on userbase. In those 3 weeks it's only 100k less than what it sold an entire 6 weeks before its release. That will be an increase in the hundreds of thousands. And of course that doesn't take into account people like myself, one of my siblings, and a couple of my friends, who bought the console early this year because we knew the game was coming. Or people who bought it early to get into the beta. The week over week sales saw double digit increase the week the closed beta came out, stayed even the week it was open to everyone, then dropped off for the next two weeks before the game launched. It has clearly had a big impact on sales.
Did it meet EA's expectations? We wouldn't have the foggiest idea. Did it meet the entirely out of whack sales expectations some here were putting on it? Obviously not.
