Battlefield Hardline is a spin off, if EA expect it to sell as well as main series title then they'd be silly anyway. You have the hardcore fanbase already and the new set of those who played the Beta (there were a lot of them). It'll sell a few million over the consoles, so Visceral is safe.
EDIT: Out of interest I looked to see how many total sales Battlefield 4 had, 12 million over the 5 platforms? Geez that's a lot for a once broken game.
Hmm, pie.
