It's a big day for Electronic Arts, as the company just reported earnings for the quarter ended December 31. This was an especially notable period because it covers the holiday season and the launch of the much-criticised Star Wars: Battlefront II. Some analysts predicted lower-than-expected sales due to the controversy involving the game's use of microtransactions (which were removed just before the game's public launch). So how did the game sell in the wake of those issues? We don't know yet, as EA did not share any sales numbers in its report. However, the company said almost 70 percent of players "engaged" with the game's single-player campaign.
In recent years, EA--and other video game companies--have shied away from sharing specific sales numbers in favour of other, more vague metrics. But with Battlefront II, EA didn't say anything apart from the single-player figure. This is notable because for the 2015 Battlefront reboot, EA announced during the first earnings report following the game's release that the title shipped more than 13 million units.
