If you can't find the link, then how did they definitely say something about it? Wouldn't it be on gaming sites too?

Maybe you're thinking of quarterly earning reports or NPD where EA games were the highest selling on 8th gen. EA isn't vocal dude and you kinda proved yourself wrong with that super old link.

Just because their audience is investors, doesn't mean that they aren't vocal. It just means that they are vocal towards their investors. Which makes sense considering their multiplat status. HOWEVER, positive PR is a luxury, Econ 101 will teach that most companies will never pass up an oppurtunity for good press so with that it mind, this game did not meet their expectations, if it did they would say something about it, that's what's best for buisness.

 Even if it exceeded MS expectations at least in XB1 bundles, EA gives no fucks about it.

Tell me, what were their expectations on a 4 million install base? Because either way EA made a ton of money since its well known that they didn't give Respawn shit for resources (reason for no single player). They were doing nothing but setting a base in the beginning of a generation like COD 2 did and plan to blow up when the install bases are larger. EA does not brag like Sony does for every time they sell a million of something. They sit back and collect.

Wow...Ok.

Don't confuse EA for MS. I'm sure they didn't want to sell only a 4 million install base when there is a 6 million install base on the other side, but they had already taken MS money. I'm sure they are more concerned with how TF did on PC and how it will do on the 360. If they can outsell Ghosts on the 360 it will be a win for them.

@Italics: That's quite the speculation, surely you have a link for this common knowledge. I mean its not like EA is publishing the...oh wait never mind.

Fact is EA knows how much they lost, and there is no benefit for them to have been "exclusive" to Xb1, is more of Respawn's choice since they wanted to make a game for a single platform first. Why in the hell would EA care about selling XB1s when there are 86+ million that they could've sold to as well? They can't even compete with COD with this model.
