EA announced last month that Battlefield 3 sold 5 Million units during it's first week of release. It wasn't enough to beat Moder Warfare 3's launch sales, but it seems that EA's military shooter is selling well post-launch.
EA CFO Eric Brown addressed Battlefield 3's current status earlier this week during an investor presentation, revealing that Battlefield 3 had shipped 12 million copies of the game, and sold 8 million units.

About Battlefield 3
Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of its time with the power of Frostbite 2, the next instalment of DICE's cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York.
