Battlefield 3 Lands in 3rd Place on Xbox Live |
Listed in: Xbox Live Tags: battlefield 3, black ops, call of duty: modern warfare 3
Battlefield 3 sold over five million copies in its first week of launch. That’s a pretty successful release from the perspective of EA and DICE, but certainly not anything for Activision to lose sleep over. Now we have a bit more evidence that BF3 may not be quite the CoD killer EA hoped, in the form of the last week’s Xbox Live stats.
Battlefield 3 landed squarely in third place, behind 2010’s Call of Duty: Black Ops and 2009’s Modern Warfare 2. While it’s a bit unfair to compare the numbers for the release week, considering that Battlefield 3 launched on Tuesday and counting starts on Monday, it’s still stark reminder that as far as the imagined battle of the titan goes, Call of Duty is still the king of the roost.
Heres’ the top ten:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops
- Modern Warfare 2
- Battlefield 3
- Gears of War 3
- FIFA 12
- Halo: Reach
- Batman: Arkham City
- Madden NFL 12
- Forza Motorsport 4
- GTA IV
Naturally, these numbers are about to take a big hit with Modern Warfare 3 launching on the 8th, so it’s unclear what exactly will happen. My guess is that we’ll see MW3 take the top slot and BF3 take number two, with the other two titles falling considerably as more players pick up either of the new releases.
As for who is going to win the war between juggernauts? Who cares? Just get the game you like and play it. After all, this “competition” is really nothing more than a sharp marketing effort to send droves of people to either of the games – Activision and EA are very much in this together.
So, which of the top ten titles did you spend your time on this week?

Reason is, four (4) is an unlucky number in Japan and it normally means death.
And, "Xbox 720" is just a rumoured name, nothing official. Obviously Microsoft will figure out an appropriate name for the console.
Despite on DBGT, existing Super Saiyajin Fō (Four) they probably didn't want to call him:
"Ultimate Super Saiyajin" or something like it, because the ultimate is SSJ3 (3 = Surī), actually, he's the last original Super Saiyajin by Akira Toriyama.
So, anyway, I don't care about the new consoles that are coming, except PS Vita, because I'm done with home consoles and the next gen probably'll just have better graphics and another Blu-ray Player in them, plus a bunch of features.
