And here I was thinking a new crash was impossible in modern times. I'm getting legit scared..

How is this this even possible?

It's what happens when you have 2,000 people working on one game.

If that value is correct, then it's going to take a lot to just break even. And consider that the price of the game includes 30% for the distribution platform. And in some regions, also consumer taxes.
So each copy will net 50$ for EA, at best. So it will take at least 8 million copies.
But then there is also the cost of advertising. So it will probably take well above 10 million copies just to break even.

You are probably correct with the 10 million unit figure. If the game is as good as some say, it should sell for at least 2-3 years decently well. 10 million should be the floor. With 20 million being the ceiling.
