    How many games have even hit that number? Only Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite have likely hit those kind of numbers.

    Yep the problem is that's what shareholders expect so the CEO has to say it. If he doesn't say it share price goes down. Investors are a bunch of vapid idiots thank goodness Valve is private.

        Laying the groundwork for mass layoffs after a successful launch.

          Idk. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold about 70 million copies - and even Black Ops 3 only sold 43 million copies. Battlefied 1 (2018) is the battlefield with the most sales: 25 million

          Edit: I give them 30 million sold copies maximum

            But have you considered, line goes up?

            Sadly, there are probably a lot of developers who are burning the candle at both ends to push this out the door, on an unrealistic schedule. And who will then burn the candle in the middle as well when the release is a buggy mess. Only to finally be tossed aside like so much trash when the game fails to realize these unrealistic expectations. And all of that will squarely be the fault of management, who will wipe away crocodile tears with the profits this game will generate. Just not the profit they unrealistically promised investors; so you know, the game was actually a failure. Fuck EA's management, the world would probably be a better place if the C-Level suite and board room got emptied out by some disaster.

              Insanity. Hey, let's spend 400+ million on a franchise IP, and then expect player numbers to beat the last 3 combined.

              Oh, you didn't hit the target? Guess we gotta close the studio.

                    It's a lot but this is mostly based on free to play numbers. They plan on adding a battle royal mode.

                      EA is against feeding 65M Latinos to the gators coz losing 28M potential customers is just not acceptable. What a caring company!

                            Just remember, it was your failure and our customers mean gamers who caused it, not us and our "projections"

                                This is either an intentional way of announcing layoffs without coming right out and saying that, or EA is insane

                                        Yup, I still play it pretty often despite all the cheaters. Battlefield hardline was the last battlefield to allow Linux users.

                                          Sure, they can do that easily.

                                          Just release for free on all platforms including mobile.
