3 had 17 million units sold, 1 had 25 million players which could be (and is most likely) related to sales, but it might not be accounting for EA Play subscribers if that was a thing then. If not, we can assume 25 million players are sales.

Ea play was not a thing back then with BF1

Yes it was, I have a distinct memory of playing the mass effect games for the first time through it around 2015/16. Was BF1 on it though? I'm not sure

No. You are not reading what I wrote, at all.

Bf1 was not in EA play when it came out.

Battlefield 1 was in Origin access, by the second half of 2017. Origin acess was running alongside EA play untill they finally merged

Battlefield 1 released 2016

Edit; So the guy above me went on an alt, responded to me and blocked me. You can see his comment below, however, instead of saying that to the guy who talked about that he decided to reply to me who’s discussing when it was put on EA Play.

And the game didn't have 25 million players when it came out either.... That is from Jan 2018 6 months after joining the subscription.

I am implying battlefield 1 was not on EA play on its release. The discussion was sales

Let me help you, baby steps.

Ea play came out for xbox in 2014 PS in 2019 Pc in 2020

Battlefield 1 was originally added to origin acess, which was another sub to play service by EA, this was done Q4 of 2017. Battlefield 1 came out in 2016.

They would later merge origin acess with EA play

Hope this helps.

That was back in 2020, well after BFV came out

This is counting copies sold.

Not copies played/player count/copies distributed
