That's fucking horrible for an AAA game. Its possible Hollow Knight, a game with almost no promotion whatsoever (and pretty much none of it paid), sold more than Battlefront 2, a game with a 10-15 billion dollar company behind it, and it will sell even more on the Switch. Cuphead guaranteed sold more than Battlefront 2 as well.

What's with the rumors that Microsoft is looking to buy out EA? I know they're looking to expand their first party catalog, but people are getting fucking crazy with these ideas. I can't imagine MS having the cash to buy EA, and the other rumor I heard is that they were going to buy Valve - which isn't even fucking possible, since Valve is a private company.
If MS did buy EA… would that be a good thing, or a bad thing? I'd love to see them get snatched up - then shitcanned and dissolved for assets a few years later. Karma being a bitch and all.

If you factor in that they expected to make at least 60 Million from those sales (accounting for all of the different edition prices and whatever they expected from microtransactions), that is a pretty big deal. Especially if they have creditors to pay, and this will definitely go into their forward budgets for games, realizing what won't pay anymore.

That's true, but don't forget that it went on sale as well, and I'm assuming this is across all platforms
Cuphead pulled in about 40M+ of revenue, and Hollow Knight will probably pull in about 15M after most of the initial Switch sales for it
Battlefront 2 also went on sale quickly after launch and still failed to deliver, and the marketing budget for that game was likely through the roof as well, further increasing the loss
http://archive.is/JvRZY
>>14248252

Well anon, if they sold 1 million short of what they wanted and I'm assuming they wanted to break even or make a profit, they at least were around 35-55M dollars short of their goal, which is huge either way

You didn't read wrong, but sales goals are for determining a desired outcome above operating costs. If you miss that goal by a million, you now have a multiplier of a loss of x * $1,000,000. Even if they break even, they're still accounting for the profit, and have stockholders to appease. Breaking even for a massive company would only be a good thing in economic downturn, as it means the doors stay open. This is going to bring an ill wind through their offices. Just kick back and laugh at their failure, even if it isn't a fatal one.

If they had the cash, they'd just have to buy out a majority of the stockholders. EA is publically traded, so as long as MS can get 51% control - then EA has really no say in what MS does with them. And it's not like MS would make those EA games Xbox exclusives. Just like they own Mojang, but still have Minecraft on multiple platforms. They'd just make sure the high profile stuff goes to Xbox first/best with timed exclusive content and maybe a handful of actual exclusives outside of EA's workhorse franchises.
I REALLY can't see MS buying EA, but I kind of hope they do. Just to see EA get the EA treatment they've been dishing out all these years.

It's not less than one million dollars under expectations, it's less than one million copies under expectations, and with how quickly they started discounting bf2, as well as the cancellation of the microtransaction scheme, the actual profit from bf2 is much less, possibly even bad enough that they don't want to report that number and thus resort to copy number reporting instead.

OP framed the headline incorrectly and clearly has either an agenda or a serious inability to properly read.
Star Wars Battlefront II (EA) sold 9 million copies, that's not a bust by any standard but does demonstrate that EA is losing touch with it's customers. It did not sell under 1 million copies. Anyone who thinks this is a fucking retard who doesn't know their numbers or the industry well.
With that being said, it's a sign that EA is pissing off consumers and overestimating it's sales. The reason micro-transactions are coming back is because they made less than expected and want to get any last dollar out of the game, which will likely be very little money. EA will look at this game, realize how they fucked up, and attempt to salvage their reputation. Will it work? No.

There is nothing to fix. There is no story to tell, Kathleen Kennedy has a Story Group that can't shit out scripts for a trilogy, not even for a single movie. They've killed every iconic characters from the OT, killed the ebil CGI guy, the main character can't developp because she was never written as he hero starting her journey, she was already at the final stage in TFA. JJ will add some cheap Mystery Box shit in Ep IX, maybe a weapon that creates black holes and Poe will save the day thanks to the tiny default in the design of the weapon.

Only sold about 7 million (actual sales including digital and retail. There is a reason you see so many SWBF2 on the shelves yet other games only have like 1 or 2 copies on hand.
They expected 15 million on the high end. (Physical and Retail combined.)
For reference the first game sold 13 million in the same time frame.
Note the 7 million number includes all the BUNDLES that included the game. A lot of people bought the PS4 bundle cause the system looked cool etc.
You have to remember Half the sales were prob from Digital. So of that 9 mil shipped as physical, most are still on the shelves.
4dce42 No.14252102
Shipped 9 mil physical copies.
Expected to sell a majority of them because the first SWBF sold a lot physically.
Only 7 mil units are sold, that included the digital sales numbers. So like half the sales were digital.
So that means they sold like 4 million to 4.5 million physical units, including the bundle units.
The reason you see a GLUT of SWBF2 on store shelves compared to other games is because they have a very large almost 4 million units large UNSOLD INVENTORY backlog at retail. And thats with LOTS of places cutting the price in half and putting the game on sale left and right. No one is buying even when the game had 20 or 30 bucks chopped off the top.

My guess is that they "expected" to sell +1 million by now, not that I believe anything they say.

They even pushed Anthem back to 2019 so they clearly are in full panic mode.

7 or 9 million, either way that's way more than decent indie games could hope to grab in sales and many of them consider "success" selling 5k+ copies. I know I've spent a lot more time and had a lot more fun with "indie" games than I have with modern AAA titles in the past few years

I won't even touch Free to play games that I've dumpped all kinds of hours into. Pick your favorite non AAA gameus and I'm sure you'll find many "sucessful" titles that sold nowhere near a million units let alone 7 to 9 million. This is because EA isn't out to simply make money. They're a corporate entity. They have investors and stakeholders. They have multi-million dollar marketing teams to advertise their games. They buy ads during the Superbowl for fuck sake.
The coperations pushing out these multi-million dollar turds are effectively the dinosaurs of the videogame industry. Real legacy media tier.

The point is that AAA games cost a fortune to make. From marketing, to middleware to keeping a dev team numbering in the three digits on almost constant overtime the costs pile up quickly. Publishers are stuck with a business model that is very inconvenient because it forces them to put most of their eggs in just a few baskets, and if they fuck up they get burned badly.
But like you said, you don't need these massive budgets to make fun games, let alone games that sell (relatively) well, but when you've been making the same garbage for 10+ years it's difficult to restructure your company to do something else.

What I find most amusing is games like Windward and 7 days to die are basically autism outlets for me to dump hours into without any real cogent reason. There was no overarching story or set tasks for me to complete. I was either sailing around fighting pirates or exploring and killing zombies. There are bits of nuance to the gameplay and mechanics that draw me into the open worlds respectively but if I had to tell you why I liked playing the game I honestly couldn't. I just know that when I was playing them I was having fun.

That's what the publisher expects from the magic IP but the harsh reality is that star wars games have never sold that well, all things considered. 7 million is actually pretty good for an SW game, but I guess if you take the expectations and marketing into the account it might still be considered a failure.

It's not about greed or a small indie game, it's a Star Wars game. That brand should move a ton of copies. EA Battlefront II sold less than the previous one, so yes it's a failure.
>>14252814
Indeed, the marketing cost should be taken into consideration.
As for the brand, Star Wars took a severe hit in terms of creativity since Disney bought LucasFilms. The SW books are given to fanfiction-tier authors like Chuck Wendig and his "wibbly wobbly" tie fighter or some fart fetishist. Giving the video game rights to EA was also a mistake since none of its studios have been capable of delievering something good for quite some time now.

Its like this board is comprised of children who do not understand a thing.
Expected Sales figures is a goal to meet that would make you a profit over total expenses.
Its why despite Bioshock infinite selling like hotcakes it still spent 300 million on developing and pr.
Battlefront 2 had to have an ENORMOUS marketing budget seeing as the amount of marketing occurring over the game.
Also EA massively bloats dev teams with unskilled workers vs skilled ones which increases overhead as well.
If you spent 1 million on a game and it netted you 60 million when it sold 1 million copies that's a huge success.
If you spent 300 million and sold 5 million copies you broke even.
Even if you sold 6 million it may not be enough to justify the time to your share holders.
