Forums - Sales - EA Financials: Crysis 2 Nearly Hits 3 Million, Battlefield 3 Pre-Orders Up 10x Over Bad Company 2

Exophase

EA released its financials for the first quarter of fiscal Q1 2012 today, posting a net profit of $221 million on total revenue of nearly $1 billion, up from $96 million on $815 million last year.

Growth was driven by several of EA’s core properties. Crysis 2 “nearly” hit the 3 million sell-through mark, while Dragon Age 2, Dead Space 2, and Portal 2 sold over 2 million. Looking ahead, the company says “digital is tracking extremely well.” Battlefield 3 pre-orders have topped Bad Company 2 by a magnitude of 10x.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is also shaping up to be another standout in EA’s expansive portfolio. Pre-orders for the title have set an “EA record.” No specifics were divulged beyond that, unfortunately.

To date, Bad Company 2 has sold around 9 million copies. If the uptick in pre-orders is any indication, BF3 is destined for an impressive debut. Will it eclipse Modern Warfare 3, as EA aspires? Only time will tell.

so unless the PC version of crysis has sold like over 1.2 million, it looks like VGChartz has it undertracked.
total= 1.86 (not including downloads)
and depending on how much over 2 million Portal has sold, it looks like Portal is over tracked, assuming its sold over .25 million on PC (which is hat VGC has). VGC has all skus of portal at 2.13 million (not including steam sales).

it also looks like Dead Space is pretty accurate or a little undertracked depending on how many downloads it has.
total= 1.97 million (not including downloads).

and is vgchartz not tracking Dragon Age 2, i dont see it anywhere.

and unless Bad company 2 has sold more than 3.6 million (VGC has it at .62). then it is very undertracked. and i doubt the PC version sold 1 million more than the xbox version.
VGchartz total= 5.89 (ps3= 2.31, xbox 2.97)
