According to Wedbrush analyst Micheal Pachter EA will spend in the range of $45 to $50 million to push BF3 this fall.This game will get atleast a twoweek head start in the fall against it's competitior MW3.

Looks like EA is putting all in for this game. Can't wait to see the outcome. It's going to be a great fall, we can all agree. :)

I thought EA said 100 million. 50 million is not that much. MW2 had 150 million, I think I've read. Black Ops even more.

MW3 will sell more but doesn't mean it will be the better game

They've probably put 50 million into marketing and whatnot so far.

Wish EA would throw more money at DICE rather than marketing. I honestly don't know how much it will help when you're going up against something like COD. BF may be better but COD has a far, far larger fanbase and many of those fans don't play anything other than COD.

LA Times pegs budget at $200 million including marketing and distribution. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6240625/modern-warfare-2-five-day-sales-hit-550-million

Thinking about it, both are going to be increadibly successful. Marketing does get sales. There is a direct link to how much you market and how much you sell.

MW3 will probably sell more but BF3 is going to sell extremely well. The difference may only be by a few million after both have passed a 20 million sold mark after a year or two.

Well... Heres the link where EA says they will spend 100 million on it http://bf3blog.com/2011/04/battlefield-3-launching-this-november-with-a-100-million-ad-campaign/ And Patcher months later is predicting 50 million. Guess he didn't get the memo. :P
