'Battlefield V' didn't sell as well as EA hoped it would

Video game sales were particularly cutthroat last holiday, and it appears EA's Battlefield V was one of the casualties. The publisher lowered the outlook for its revenue this quarter after revealing that its sales in the last quarter of 2018 "did not perform to our expectations." While it didn't explicitly blame BFV for the shortfall, that was undoubtedly the company's flagship game -- it otherwise relied on sports titles and the mobile-only Command & Conquer Rivals. It's not too hard to see why BFV would have struggled. EA delayed the release to November 20th, and left the the much-hyped battle royale mode out of the game until the spring.
