Companies rarely, if ever, release sales figures for digital game sales. Makes compiling charts, and applauding records, difficult! We do know one thing, however: EA’s Battlefield 1943 is the most popular console downloadable title ever made.
As part of it’s fiscal year report released earlier today, publisher Electronic Arts says that the downloadable shooter has sold over 1.5 million units, and is the “best-selling download-only game on PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade”.
Since publishers are given raw sales data for their titles, it makes sense EA would know. Then again, without figures for other games to prove it, you’re going to have to take their word for it.

Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 11:13 PMEA did say that, depending on popularity, they would release the other maps.
Guess its not yet popular enough.

Due to the HUGE delay, the PC version is NEVER going to reach the sales of the console and sell MUCH lower than the consoles…
