EA believes Microsoft's potential acquisition of Activision could offer the Battlefield series a 'tremendous opportunity.'

Of course, that"tremendous opportunity" hangs on the fact that EA can turn the franchise around, which Wilson also spoke about:"I don't think we delivered in the last two iterations of that in the way that we should have," Wilson said."There's a lot of work that we've got to do there.
