These numbers come from Chart-Track, a company that tracks physical game sales in the UK, who revealed that Call of Duty: WWII managed to stay higher than Battlefront II on the UK's sales charts.īelow is the UK's top ten list for last week's physical game sales: Right now it has been reported that physical sales for the game are down 60% when compared to 2015's Star Wars: Battlefront, a drop that is too high to be due to gamers moving more towards digital purchases alone. These issues have been widely covered, even within the mainstream media, prompting EA to make some changes to the game's loot/progression system, though that was not enough to save the game from a disappointing opening weekend. Star Wars: Battlefront II was set up to be way more successful than its predecessor, though that was ruined by the game's 'loot box' system and the huge amount of time or money that was required to unlock in-game items and heroes. This game was also set to release with a single player campaign, satisfying the fans of the series that craved new story content.

At the start of the year, Star Wars Battlefront II was easily one of the most highly anticipated titles of 2017, bringing EA's Battlefront series into all Star Wars Filmic Eras from the Clone Wars to the Galactic Rebellion and beyond into the 'First Order' Era of the Star Wars Canon.
