Hell Yeah! *_*

Now lets see some of that money go back into the game on fixing some of the server/microphone issues... [Shifty]

It's not the destination, but the journey you take to get there that matters.

Without feeding the troll, I have to say that, yeah, EA's whole claim to being the MW3 killer was always hot air. Different market, different game. Someone that player 2+ days worth of COD isn't rushing out to play BF3 for just as long.

BF3 is awesome though. Can't deny that.

No, sales never include digital unless they specifically state that.

I think you could add on probably 2-3 million PC download sales to that figure.

It's an awesome game. Plus the devs actually listen to the community.

BTW, sales don't mean shit.

8 millions seems pretty poor for such a high profile game.

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
