@BizzyVaping4.3 million is next to nothing in today's gaming. BF3 sold 5 million in its first week then about 15 or so million.
and besides, that's not counting the refunds and there have been more 2042 refunds than any other title esp when there's a play trial also

@Kernel_Fender Call of duty Black Ops Cold War Sold 5.7 million in its entire first month.

Considering COD's popularity I find it super impressive that Battlefield got somewhat close to one months sales in one week.

But year I know there's certain franchises where 4 million in the first week would damn near be considered a failure.

@BizzyVapingthat's pretty decent numbers, however, I doubt there were so many refund requests.

  You forgot to also consider the fact the world is/has been in COVID lock down. Sales of anything have been in demand because of sheer boredom. The game is rubbish, period. Activision board members, share holders, Devs.... are laughing so hard right now 🤣
