That is pretty impressive and honestly kind of surprising.
Thats after the Beta and EaPlay early access where people could try before they buy. Thats after all the ins and outs on the game were known to the public.
The number of sales within the first week are only one important key figure. However, the question is how many people will still buy the game in the long term after this disastrous launch. Also, they have already noticed a big player count drop, which is another problem for them. Because only happy players, that stay might be willing to put extra money (microtransactions) in this game. So with every sale they cannot execute and every single player leaving the game for good the chance of financial success is decreasing.
In my opinion it would be just fair if this game was another fiasco for them. They are completely out of touch and lack direction. If they do not want to produce a Battlefield game any more, that is fine with me. But then they should not butcher and abuse the name of this great franchise at least to promote some garbage without identity. Either deliver a Battlefield game that is worthy of that name or die the slow way that Need for Speed is dying.

@zbran1yes it is actually
It's a small fraction of people who own the game so no it isn't. Look at the Cyberpunk stats after all the complaining about that game only a tiny fraction of people got a refund even though anyone who purchased was entitled to one.
So for the same concept cyberpunk is also a hit as it sold a bang on day1 ...
Ah the miracles of marketing ...

More word spaghetti. Could you try to make your point in a lucid fashion please, I've no idea what you are trying to convey with what you just said.

Again more gibberish. I don't mean to offend you but I assume English is not your first language?
the poor boy comment is the last bastion of someone struggling in a debate along with "kid" .... You need to do better.
