Those are huge numbers. I'm pretty sure that if those numbers were true, EA would have said so eons ago, to keep the investors happy.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

We will see Star Wars Battlefront 2 next year. I feel sorry for people thought they would get campaign.

Doesn't deserve it... I'll say that.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Afaik they never say anything even when the results are good (nowadays). 

At least 8-9M seems pretty much certain. The rest will depend on how effective post-movie+xmas-period discounts on the game was.

He probably said shipped not sold.

(Actually alot of what he says about stuff is not that far off but media likes to take his words out of context alot.)

It would be impossible for the game to actually sale through these numbers in such a short time. The game is a FPS and online only and has no single player story so sales outside US/UK will be pretty much nil. That would be like 50+%, in those regions, of all PS4 and Xbox One owners buying that game.
