Infamous alone is right behind TF in pre-orders and has an extra week before it launches. So I image that is nervous laughter.


Infamous appeals to the harcore gamer 'internet nerd' stereotype that preorders games.

Titanfall takes the call of duty crowd who says 'dude' a lot and pretends that they're so cool playing videogames. Those people don't preorder.

COD had over 1 million pre-orders on the 360 alone. While it's true that Infamous usually has more pre-orders compared to it's sales than a game like COD,

Infamous 2- 160k pre-orders, 200k week one U.S. sales

Cod Ghosts- 957k pre-orders, 2,174k week one U.S. sales

But I don't think TF will have that kind of pre-order/sale ratio. Higher than SS I'm sure, but I doubt we'll see COD numbers. For example, take Gears 3.

1,536k pre-orders, 1,828k U.S. sales. and Gears has a similar "Bro-shooter" audience.


you data seems on point. Though I disagree. No 'dude bro' people I know like gears of war 3. I like the game and I'm yet to find someone who plays it, they're all playing call of duty. To me gears of war stopped apealing to the masses and now caters more to their hardcore fans hence why they keep declining in sales.
