EA: Too many 360 players on Battlefield 3 server at once

Electronic Arts issued a statement today that the reason the servers for the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3 are having serious issues is due to the fact that there are simply too many players trying to play at once.


According to Games Industry BIZ, “Battlefield 3′s beta was downloaded, according to EA, by over nine and a half million people across all platforms, but the stress testing of that experience seems to have not prepared the servers for yesterday’s load.”

It seems Electronic Arts will have to commit another server to the 360 version. Let us know if you've been having problems playing Battlefield 3 online.

Ehhhhhhhh. Hard to believe. What's more believable is that the game is buggy. I believe they forced the release to beat MW3 since they were so aggressive with advertising.

I looked at the Stats Graph on the 25th (26th here) and the XB numbers were quadruple those of PC and PS3. I'm posotive that come the 7th November this number will sharply decline as we see the "MW3" players mirate in droves.

Considering the abysmal reviews the single player part has received and now so many problems with the MP part - I believe that MW3 will own the consoles and also be a big winner for PC as well. Unless they screw their launch up as well - seems like this years fad to screw up your launch...
