BF3 nu al 700% meer pre-orders dan BC2
Vorige week kwam EA met de nieuwe kwartaal cijfers voor het fiscale jaar 2011. De tv-spotjes, internet advertenties en media aandacht heeft een groot effect gehad op de hoeveelheid 'pre-orders' van Battlefield 3. EA maakte bekend dat er nu al 700% meer pre-orders zijn dan BC2, voordat de game daadwerkelijk te koop is. Bad Company 2 is zeven miljoen keer verkocht, de verwachting is dat Battlefield 3 dit zeker gaat overtreffen.
