As you all know, the two biggest names in FPS franchises are both releasing a brand new, revolutionary game to the world in the next upcoming months. Battlefield hits the shelves on October 25th, while November 8th for Call of Duty. They will both be available for $60 on console. These games will ultimately compete for total sales, because more total sales means more moooolah baby. Isn't that the point in selling a product? There are many things that go into how a game sells. Now these aren't any ground rules, but the first factor is of course the game. If the game is bad, it gets taken back to the store. If the game is good, then it receives media coverage, experts recommend it, friends push friends to get it. That brings us to factor number 2. People buy games to play with their friends, whether it be on splitscreen or with your online buddies. The third factor is brand cliche. Think about it in car terms, why do so many people buy Hondas? Well, because Honda has proven itself for decades to be one of the most reliable and cost efficient car brands in the world. Would you take a gamble on a game from a new developer, or buy one from one you've enjoyed in the past?

Call of Duty's most recent games have sold more exponentially, but Battlefield has had some blockbuster games, like Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2.

I've got a feeling they are going to make BF3 like MOH and if that is the case than it will fail horribly

I love how COD needs all these game makers while BF only needs 2 lmao.

I think they're going to be both fun games, BF3 just seems to be taking a bigger step in terms of gameplay and graphics.

Though people might like battlefield a little more because not as many people play it.

COD games are still better and are liked more then the amount of people who play battlefield.

COD WINS

Do you even know how idiotic your comment actually is? Have you thought that maybe the devs want to make their game as realistic as possible?
