EA gets the jump on Modern Warfare 3 with Battlefield 3's release last week, and what a launch it was. From its own internal estimates, unit sales for Battlefield 3 have already reached 5 million since it hit store shelves last Tuesday. That's a milestone and a new record for software sales over at EA, which is also beaming at the 2.5 million Facebook "Likes" and some 200,000+ Twitter followers on the respective BF3 social pages. If you're ready for relevant stats, by EA's reckoning you folks were responsible for committing no less than 3 million savior kills and 48 million revives, as well as destroying some 67 million vehicles in BF3 this past weekend. While EA boasts of "solid" server stability 98.9 percent uptime, it did acknowledge some "intermittent disruption" due to "high volume."
