The Wall Street Journal reports EA's latest Battlefront game sold 9 million copies, which falls 1 million short of the company's 10 million sales projections.While it's reportedly expected between 1 and 3 million more units will sell by the end of fiscal 2018, these sales still put the sequel behind its predecessor, which had hit 14 million by the end of fiscal 2016 (March 31, 2016) after a late 2015 release. WSJ also shares that EA's finance chief Blake Jorgensen says microtransactions, which were pulled after the game's release , will make a return "in the next few months." EA had indicated, at the time of their removal, that microtransactions would eventually return to the game.Jorgensen says "We'll do it when we think it's ready," and reportedly blames the missed sales projections on the controversy surrounding the loot crates , which also led to U.S. legislators wanting to limit loot box sales and some countries like the UK and New Zealand making decisions about whether or not they constitute gambling.Star Wars Battlefront 2 has seen a fair share of changes since its release, including the speeding up of the progression system, which is set to see even more changes coming in March
