I think with the Titanfall bundle, it will boost hardware for that 1 week it releases. XB1 will outsell the PS4 in USA/EU that week, but the following week InFamous will make PS4 on top, and following that it's likely to be the same old weekly sales.

Only thing is WiiU will be a bit further behind.... MARIO KART SAVE YOUR MOTHER CONSOLE!


i agree the release of Infamous is perfectly timed to stunt the sales growth of Titanfall and the X1

I didn't say InFamous would stunt XB1's sales growth. I said that the boost PS4 gains that following week will prevent the XB1 from closing any gap at all. If anything the gap will grow in PS4's favor.

Yea, that sounds about right.  Though, I would say UK, not EU.  Not sure if the boost in UK alone could make up for the rest of EU.  But, I could be wrong.

UK does account for 50% of MS's European sales,but to be honest I don't know what's going to happen.

It'll outsell the PS4 in the US and UK for that week; however, there's absolutely no way it outsells the PS4 in the EU for that week, unless it's has some kind of monstrous effect in the UK.  My own prediction for Titanfall week is 100-120k for the X1, while the PS4 should remain at 160-180k. It'll then drop week after week until it flatlines agains around 50k per week until a price cut. 

I'm more optimistic, I think half the Titanfall pre-orders will be to new console buyers. So I'm thinking 320k Worldwide, with 90k Europe and 230k North America.

I could be wrong though, but I don't see anything under 130k being reasonable. Even then with 130k, it would sell 30k in Europe and 100k in North America.

I feel the same for InFamous, 440k Worldwide, with 190k USA, 190K Europe, and 60k Japan.

Again I could be wrong, but I don't see anything under 225k with 85k in Europe, 90k in North America, and 50k in Japan.


Damn, you're being incredbily optimistic. I don't think any exclusive has ever boosted a console that much (and Titanfall isn't even an exclusive).

 

My own prediction is, 100-110k in the US, 20-30k in EU for the week of Titanfall so 130-140k for that week (it'll be behind the PS4), with it then falling back until it reaches 50k again in week 4 or so and stays there till a price drop. 

 

As for inFamous, the PS4 will sell however many units Sony sends for the week, it's not dependent on inFamous.
