Not to mention the fact that Titanfall has sold over 1.2 million copies at retail since launch according to this site. So you're saying over 600k of those were Xbox One bundles? Do you have any links to back that up? Especially since this site also has the Xbone selling under 400k since Titanfall launched. The math just doesn't add up.
In the end what does any of this matter? Why is the writer expecting Microsoft to talk about Titanfall sales? Maybe I should submit a blog post to Forbes asking why Take Two hasn't chimed in with up to date Titanfall sales. Also, why hasn't Sony provided Galaxy S5 sales numbers? These are questions we need answers to. |
I actually don't think MS paid that much to get TF exclusive. The history is that EA decided that X1 would outsell PS4 by a long margin and bet on it. Probably MS didn't had to make a very good paycheck and just got the costs of bundling and extra marketing.
Anyway, there is no mistery about TF sales, we know how much it sold and VGC probably isn't that much out of track, so it outsold InFamous. People could argue that TF should outsell SS for a long margin since it is the hot new shooter and InFamous never was that much of a seller, but in the end with their current install bases and lack of games, any exclusive will sell a lot on both platforms.
