At this year's E3, EA and DICE only showed the PC version of the game which lead to Activision CEO's Bobby Kotick questioning its console credentials. “So far I’ve only seen Battlefield 3 on a PC, I haven’t seen it on a console where the bulk of our business is,” he told CNBC. “If it’s just a PC title, as it looks like today, that’s just a small audience to participate,” he added.

That statement was quickly countered by EA boss John Riccitiello:

"We’re going to have a clash of the titans this fall. The very fact that he’s trying to cast doubt on our game is a perfect example of how we got his goat. In terms of where this goes, we think our PS3 game is better than their Xbox game and our PC game is better than their PC game. If that’s all he’s got to say, it’s obviously going to evaporate as we launch all three. If you went to our press conference, you saw the PS3 footage and the Xbox footage. If Bobby thinks that is PC footage, he’s in real trouble.”

Battlefield 3 will is slated to arrive on October 25 in North Amercia, and on October 28 in UK. Modern Warfare 3 on the other hand will launch on November 8.
