Star Wars Battlefront Now Expected to Ship 13 Million, Up from 10 Million

@vackillers: Compared to the complete garbage EA/DICE rolled out with BF3, BF4 and BF Hardline, the Star Wars Battlefront BETA out-performed any of the previously mentioned titles BETAs and released games! So I'm not sure where your disconnect is? Maybe you have no experience with these previous releases and their BETAs?

That being said, while the SW BF BETA performed well and looked really nice, the game play for the two maps and game modes were quite dull.

The proof will come once the full game is released and I think EA is highly dependent piggy-backing on the movie release; but die-hard fans of SW and EA/DICE BF series will no doubt be among the first to purchase and play the game upon first release.

I'm just going to wait six months and play it on EA Access for virtually free...

Well, great! Now that Destiny (with its new purchasable currency) and this game are going to do so well, I can look forward to more game like them being developed.
Games with bare-bone features and heavy on the micro-transactions/wallet-gouging DLC.

Apparently this is what we want, so this is what we'll get.

well, everyone likes CoD, especially if its coated in shades of star wars.

Wow. it just shows how many EA/Dice Simpletons there are who are going to buy this game. It also shows how Nintendo and EA Fan boys have something in common. Well at least we know this that EA will continue to make overprice games because Ignorant people will keep buying their crap. Enjoy your Modless SWBF game.

The game should be titled: Star Wars: Baby's First Multiplayer Shooter

Once the shine wears off from the Star Wars graphics, I think this rather simplistic shooter will be dropped like a hot rock. Kind of like SWTOR which went from about 450 jam-packed servers (globally) to 17 fairly empty servers in just a few years because it was so boring.

So, the only reason they have increased their sales outlook is because of the beta numbers? LOL completely idiotic logic. EA, yes, you had 10m people play the beta. That does not equate to 10m people buying the actual game. If anything, now a good chunk of people are turned off BECAUSE of the beta.

Ignorant to assume that everyone that played the beta absolutely loved it and are going to buy the game.

To each it's own, but I won't be buying it.

Battlefront 2 sold 6 millions. I don't think this game sells that much

I enjoyed every second of the beta and I plan on buying the game for sure

All you whiners on the forums here are gonna end up being the vocal minority like with every game out there before this. I played this with 3 other friends and they all loved it. Maybe because they were all doing really well and didn't suck playing this like so many others

Enjoy being miserable and wasting your time commenting on this. me and A LOT of actual Star Wars fans will enjoy this either way.

This game def wont sell 13 million units. I remember Battlefront 2 I had such good memories playing countless hours on my PS2...good times.

Not a chance in hell this will push 13 million-- or 10 for that matter. MGSV has only done 5 since launch. NO WAY in hell. EA is smoking some ganja.

I tested the beta...was funny...after 2 hours I was tired of the game...

And regarding to the price...yes...off course I prefer to spend it on another game,,, Fallout 4 for example...

I don't remember seeing this kind of negativity around Splatoon, and that game is online-only. It doesn't even have bot matches. Honestly, I was underwhelmed by the beta, but I only got to play on the ugly lava planet map. The game could be pretty good.

I love star wars. I grew up on it. But being a MP only game, meh-- you can keep it. I don't want to play Battlefield with AT-ATs. I want a Big, over-the-top campaign with AT-ATs--- that does not rehash the same shit over and over. I love the battle of Hoth, but c;mon, guys-- there's so much more that can be done with this universe.

this will drop down to 40-30$ in a few weeks

I can never see myself spending that type of money for a MP game. I think they're crazy, but if they think they can get away with it, and it succeeds, that's the future of gaming, and i don't like it one bit (although, EA does have a habit of screwing up a simple cup a coffee, so even for people who want the game, i'd certainly give it a couple of weeks before a buy, and make sure the game even works).

I guess i can't understand why these new generational systems were promised to give us so much more, and what we seem to be getting is half of what we had lol.

Not to mention, this game on One (my system), wasn't even at Current Generational Graphics, but of admittedly Last Gen Graphics. I guess it's a shame the only thing i'm looking forward too now, is "back compatibility", to play the older games, where i should be excited about the NEWER games lol.

I mean what did i spend all this money for?

At this point, the best thing that can EVER happen for me, is One gives me access to PC Exclusive Games on Steam or something, like Red Orchestra 2 and the like, that i can play on my One with my controller. That would then end my gaming dilemna, instead of being dependent on all this malarkey these big gaming companies are feeding us.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

should I get Star Wars, Fallout or COD?

Fallout it is.

As for Battlefront, I'll get Rainbow Six, thank you.

And for the record, I would rather get COD than get an always online dumbed down Star Wars shooter

80 bucks for it in Canada, And it is MP only lol. Keep dreaming EA.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Boys and Girls!

I shall now pass on the teaching of Alpha Omega Sin.

Vote with your wallet!!

By refusing to spend full price money on half a game, you can make the game companies realize that we won't be putting up with their bullshit any longer!

I implore you to wait for the inevitable price drop!

maybe it will happen, its so sad to see star wars affiliated with something like ea, not like they are selling a deluxe edition that is around 10 dollars more expensive than the normal edition and you get pretty much nothing out of it, you just give ea another free 10 dollars for nothing... the 50 dollar season pass... and of course the people that are going nuts because its "star wars" and dont care how much they are getting ripped-off by this game that got plastered in less than 8 months, all in all ea won this battle, not the people that play games...

and 10 million of them will be shelf warmers

Should be cheap to pick up on the used market then.
