According to the publishing giant's "internal estimates," its sell-through of units to actual customers makes DICE's latest title "the fastest-selling game in EA's history."
In its second fiscal quarter results, EA estimated good fortunes for Battlefield 3 following "nearly" three million pre-orders for the shooter.
"Battlefield 3 fans executed 73M savior kills, 48M revives and destroyed 67M vehicles," a press release revealing the internal estimate noted.
Earlier today, DICE's general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson wrote a lengthy blog post thanking Battlefield 3 players for their support, as well as promising the development team at DICE is taking steps to correct some of the game's online-related issues.
