Forums - Sales Discussion - Prediction: Second Son (PS4) Will Outsell Titanfall (Xbox One) in Lifetime

artur-fernand on 11 January 2014

It's hard to make that prediction, we don't even know if Titanfall will succeed. It could end up being mediocre, or the servers could have massive problems at launch, there are many variables. IF Titanfall succeeds, it can reach the 7-8, maybe even 10 million mark. I expect (hope) inFamous sells about 5 million.

But, I think Second Son will push more hardware. In some ways, it's the first "true" next-gen game on the PS4. And it's exclusive and shit, so there you go.

If the servers handled COD at launch then they can handle Titanfall.

And what makes Infamous more next gen than Killzone?

I don't know. It just looks more... "next-gen". Maybe it's in my head.

And just because the servers can handle the game, that doesn't eliminate the risk of having problems.

So after frequenting the forums for over three years now I finally reached 50 posts and am now able to create threads.  Don't worry, you probably won't see many from me.  I have been thinking for this for some time now and I believe that Second Son will sell more copies on the PS4 than Titanfall does on the Xbox One.  For those of you that are remotely interested in how the matchup unfolds I will try to post weekly results to this page.

I'm sure some of you are already getting your crow ready and I don't mind admitting if I'm wrong.  I can't claim to be an expert at these predictions.  Still I feel that if the PS4 continues to broaden the gap in sales that this could definitely happen.  A lot of people are excited for both games and I'm sure they will both do well.  This is the third installment of an Infamous game compared to a brand new IP.  I think a lot of it comes down to how much money EA will throw into advertising.

Be sure to bookmark this page to receive weekly sales updates once these two games have released.  Also let me know your thoughts on which game will sell more copies.

For now I'll post the pre order totals provided by VGChartz.

Congratulations on your first thread!

That is a brave prediction.  I think it is not likely to happen. But hey, kudos for sticking your neck out there.

You have some sequel versus the most talked about new IP and next gen game out there.  It should have the biggest debut in years.  Especially for a console with only 3 million users.

 

Thanks!  I think this thread could spark a lot of conversation over the next couple of months.  It should be fun to watch it all unfold.

Why are people saying Titanfall is the new cod? Maybe new Halo, not COD. EDIT : Talking purely sales here, not gameplay.


Because the gameplay of titanfall is exactly the same one as cod just adding Titans and futuristic things like those kind of jetpacks.

But it has nothing to do with Halo where you need a lot of ammo to kill a guy or assassinate him and the gameplay is very different



Gameplay wise sure, but I don't see Titanfall doing COD numbers, but it definetly has a chance of 7-10 Million Halo numbers if everything turns out well with the game. In fact Destiny has a better chance of COD numbers, seeing as it"s multiplatform and Titanfall is not (YET)

It's possible. Infamous has more potential buyers, not to mention Titanfall is a multiplat.



melbye on 11 January 2014

Sadly i don't think so, Titanfall is just too hyped. But us Infamous fans can be glad to know that we will get the superior game

This is not a bold prediction.

Titanfall is an new IP on multiple platforms. Second Son is the third in a series and an exclusive.

It could be, but it also could not.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Nah, Infamous will be good but it will appeal to a smaller % of the PS4 population. Titanfall will appeal to all the Xbots.
