everyone waiting on the next gen version why do you think CoD sales slowed the f down? Its certainly not because there's less brogamers on the planet looking to play that crap

I'm going to guess this and CoD's sales are due to the fact they are cross generation. When the PS4 and Xbox One comes out their sales will dramatically increase.

A lot of people don't want buy last generation versions of the game.

Well there's also the people that were let down by BF3 that don't want to get 4. I mean at least you know what to expect from COD, but BF3 did fall off from expectations for a lot of people.

My next door neighbor has a friend whose cousin bought BF 3 today so it's back to 69%.

Most people like myself are picking up the nextgen versions. No way I'd play BF4 on PS3, it's shit on last gen hardware.

I foresee this Winter Steam sale to be pretty good. When some games sales flop, then the developer peggy back on Steam deals. PC to the rescue.

Also it will teach Ubisoft to release their games Day 1 on PC

Both Assassins Creed and BF4 were pretty much sold out on Amazon for Ps4. It has been a long while since I seen that so I am sure they will be fine..

This. Who wants a botched current gen version when you could get it on PC or wait for the new consoles to arrive?

Not surprised. Battlefield 3 was so successful because it was a massive leap technical leap forward. Battlefield 4 is a map pack.

Pretty much. That's why I haven't gotten it yet. That and I knew the launch would be utter shit given how bad the beta was.
