Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has expressed concern over Battlefield 3 on consoles, echoing what the rest of us have been saying since the game's debut: what's it like on consoles?
"So far I've only seen Battlefield 3 on a PC, I haven't seen it on a console where the bulk of our business is," he told CNBC.
"If it's just a PC title, as it looks like today, that's just a small audience to participate," he added.
Kotick clearly knows the game is coming to consoles as well as PC, but wanted to have a dig at the fact EA is yet to show the game on anything other than a high-end PC.
Battlefield 3 will launch on October 28, just under two weeks before Activision's Call of Duty 3 arrives worldwide on November 8.

All I can be bothered to read.. First sort your posts out and, secondly, it's not a worldwide release. The UK (The sites base) will be getting it on the 28th, the yanks (at a guess, you) will be getting it on the 25th. I will be getting it, hopefully, before both of those dates for review.
Right, onto the REAL posts:
The E3 demo was, indeed, compilations of PS3, 360 and PC footage. If you can tell the difference, which I can't, then you guys are a better man than I!
I will post a source for my knowlege once I have found one.

There is no way at this time you can know if Battlelog will be better than Elite. A paid service usually outperforms a free one, and even though the stat-tracking aspects of Elite are to be free, the fact that there is a subscription model suggests that they will at the very least be excellent. As a fan of Autolog, I do have to say that it does not even begin to compare to bungie.net in terms of stats, and since bungie is the obvious source of inspiration, is it not possible that Elite will actually be the best of all three?
