Star Wars Battlefront has sold between 12 and 13 million units, a pair of analysts has estimated.
Reported by Fortune, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter says EA sold 6 million copies of the online shooter in both November and December, generating a healthy $660 million in revenue based on an average selling price of $55.
Pacific Crest Securities senior analyst Evan Wilson also says the publisher could have sold as many as 13 million copies of Battlefront before The Force Awakens even opened.
It’s not just EA which has benefited from Star Wars, with Disney Interactive’s Disney Infinity 3.0 earning over $200 million, according to Pachter – some $50 million more than Skylanders and LEGO rivals.
The combined revenues for Star Wars games goes way beyond $1 billion when you also factor in mobile games. Randy Nelson, content manager of Sensor Tower’s store intelligence platform, told Fortune that Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes ($186,000), Star Wars: Force Collection ($56,000) and Star Wars: Commander Worlds in Conflict($43,000) made a combined $285,000 in the day following the movie’s launch.
