Electronic Arts showed off some very impressive numbers during their financial call last night. One of the main reasons for this was Battlefield 1's incredible success.

The popular series has always sold quite well, but Battlefield 1 had the best launch in franchise history. In fact, EA revealed that the game's player base is more than 50 percent larger than that of Battlefield 4 in a comparable time frame. One of the reasons for this could be that EA claims 33 percent of Battlefield 1's players are new to the franchise or EA Games.

It's good to know that taking risks with an established franchise can pay off. Have you been playing Battlefield 1?
