During a recent earnings call with shareholders, Electronic Arts unveiled their forecast for the first year of Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1, two highly anticipated games of the publisher, both due out this autumn.

EA seemed to be very optimistic for both games, and talking specifically of Battlefield 1, the company plans to sell about 15 million copies in the first year on the market. As reported by the CFO Blake Jorgensen: "We've told people that typically a Battlefield title does about 15 million in a year. Our guidance is slightly under that [for Battlefield 1]", said Jorgensen. "And we hope that that excitement builds and it will clearly go through that number. But for right now, it's slightly under that number.

Regarding Titanfall 2 - which will land on PlayStation 4 this time around - EA believes that game will sell 9-10 million copies, as Jorgensen added then: "And Titanfall did a little more than 7 million units last time. It was early in the cycle and one of the few titles out there. We think it'll do more than that, but it's probably closer to 10 million than it is to 15 million as built into our guidance.

So closer to 9 million to 10 million on Titanfall 2 and just under 15 million on Battlefield 1.

We are really curious to find out if these predictions will occur. Titanfall 2 will be released October 28, while Battlefield 1 sees release one week earlier on October 21.
