first year, battelfield has a real shot
1. cod is not on lat gen anymore.
cod was still a huge seller on last gen. this year, it has to rely only on current gen
2. bf is big on pc
bf was always strong on pc, while cod is kind of non existent. the pc market is growing and growing. cod only has the 60m+ console installbase
3. backlog and lifetime sales.
cod will sell more in the first 2 months. no doubt. but if people don't like it and the word of mouth is negative, this will effect backlog sales. same goes for bf on the other hand, if it's positive.
but ea will never give us digital salesnumbers. so activision will shout out cod is the best selling game of the year ;)
