• Cowen believes EA’s “Battlefield V” game may put the company's financial guidance at risk.
• The firm's analyst said preorders for “Battlefield V” are tracking more than 85 percent behind “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4,” which is substantially worse than previous instances.
• “Battlefield 3” and “Battlefield 4” titles lagged “Call of Duty” by about 20 percent to 40 percent and “Battlefield 1” actually tracked ahead of “Call of Duty” at this point before launch.

Wow this game is a disaster. Content missing at launch, women being included, lack of marketing, and launching a week after Black Ops 4 and a week before Red Dead Redemption 2.

Cause and effect. The launch window and content will have an impact. The "women in the game" probably has nothing to do with the sales.

RDR2 is going to make it very difficult for any game to make money in Oct...

Add into that the fact that people are a bit bored of the whole microtransactions thing I'm not surprised. I hope COD falls to a similar fate to be fair, what with no single player... but they'll probably still make a bucket load.
