Battlefield can’t compete with Call of Duty. If you ask where this statement came from, the UK Government announced that it was examining Microsoft’s Activision-Blizzard purchase. Sony, which is in danger of losing its Call of Duty brand, has emphasized that the Battlefield series, which is the only alternative to COD, is very, very far behind. Modern Warfare 2 quickly took the lead from Steam and generated $1 billion in revenue in its first 10 days.
Battlefield can’t compete with Call of Duty
According to Sony, Call of Duty is unbeatable in the FPS genre:
“It is not possible to replace a game that breaks sales records every year and is always at the top in the FPS genre,” Sony said, then announced the mind-boggling sales difference between the Call of Duty series and the Battlefield series. Sony’s goal here is not to throw stones at the Battlefield while standing still. If Microsoft announces that Call of Duty is exclusive to Xbox and PC, the damage that the Playstation platform will suffer is tried to be emphasized.
Sony used the following statements in the continuation of the statement:
” Despite the similarities of Call of Duty and Battlefield, and the success of other brands from Electronic Arts (FIFA, Mass Effect, etc., as examples), the Battlefield series cannot keep up with Call of Duty. According to August 2021 data, Call of Duty games have sold a total of 400 million units, while this number is only 88.7 million copies on the Battlefield side.”
Battlefield 2042 was released on November 2021 and received heavy criticism. On the other hand, Modern Warfare 2 was released with record after record. Sony’s stonemasonry of Electronic Arts as the Call of Duty brand stands still to avoid losing will be remembered as an interesting event.
