Battlefield 6 won't actually boot stomp Black Ops 7, analyst says, because Call of Duty fans on "autopilot" will "buy it even if they complain about it"

Battlefield 6 has more hype behind it than the series has seen in years, and its beta's Steam numbers even stomped Call of Duty, but one analyst reckons the game still won't easily outsell Black Ops 6. And it's all because Call of Duty, even at its lowest point, is still a stronger brand than Battlefield at its top form - for now, at least.

That comes courtesy of Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliot, who reports Battlefield 6 is doing more-than-healthy numbers on Steam with over 2.7 million wishlists and around $35 million worth of pre-orders ahead of its October 10 release date.
