Battlefield Bad Company 2 is an international success that has sold more than five million copies. Locally, the game is most popular on the PC (43.2% of sales), followed by PlayStation 3 (30.4%) and Xbox 360 (26.4%). The game's multiplayer mode is a key factor for its success.
- It's clear to see that games with a well developed online multiplayer component have longer staying power. Games like World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike may be several years old, but still remain very popular. The link between pre-paid subscription to Xbox Live and games with the popular online modes such as Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2 is clear, these are titles that drive sales, "says Martin Lindell, an analyst at the Swedish Games Industry.
