I think retail releases today actually (kind of weird to have bumped it up to a Monday release date but my copy is supposedly coming in a few hours) and it seems like it's going to do very well. The beta garnered a lot of interest, it seems, and rightfully so, since it was fun as hell. I expect it to beat out Doom by a decent margin, though that game deserves strong sales as well. The last few months have been fantastic games-wise for me, with Ratchet, Dark Souls, Uncharted, Doom and Overwatch, and next month looks like the streak is continuing with Mirror's Edge and No Man's Sky.

I think the game will be the best selling game this year, I think 15m+ is on-lock easily. Largest beta numbers in history, and unlike Battlefront, the impressions were overwhelmingly positive.

Only thing I'm not sure about is the pricetag. Personally I think this game would have more sucess as a $20 or $30 digital only game . 

I'm sure Call of duty will be the best selling game this year (Rock Star maybe have some surprises on the E3) but Overwatch will sell very well, and will be something we will not be able to track without Blizzard's statement, because Majority of the sales will be from PC.
