According to reports that if the game lives up to its hype, “Battlefield 1” is sure to give other first-person shooter video games in the market a serious run for the gamers’ money, particularly in the aspect of sales.
In fact, there are reports saying that Activision is now getting worried that the sales of its next “Call of Duty” game will be affected by the release of “Battlefield 1” later this year. The “Call of Duty” franchise is also one of the more renowned first-person shooter video games around.
In a recent interview, Michael Pachter, a video game analyst at Wedbush Securities predicts that “Battlefield 1” shall rule over the first-person shooter video games lot when it comes out later in 2016. He said that he is confident of his prediction because “Battlefield 1” shall have less overall competition when it gets released to the gaming consoles and the PC.
Unlike last year, when the first-person shooter video games market was a bit crowded with five releases including “Fallout 4,” “Halo 5: Guardians,” “Battlefront,” “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate,” and “Call of Duty: Black Ops 3,” this year it will just be “Battlefield 1” and the next “Call of Duty” game. So it is going to be a toss-up with the victor emerging quite clearly after.
