Anyone here who believes Titanfall is a bit under tracked I mean at VGC it is 4.27m sales and Vince Zampella announced there are more than 8m unique registered players which indicates game sales are near 6-7m I think they are more but I am trying to keep it a bit moderate either the digital sales are high for this game or it there is some problem in tracking. Titanfall can now way have nearly 3m digital sales.

There will be families that used multiple accounts on one copy of the game, people that used 2nd accounts for whatever reason and of course a tonne of used game sales to add up to that 8m unique players though.

Still seems undertracked though, even accounting for rentals, 2nd accounts, game sharing, etc., that's a pretty big discrepancy between VGC's numbers and the number of registered accounts. I'd guess sales, physical+digital, are around 5.5-6m now.

I think VGC also has Just Cause 2 undertracked, according to Avalanche Just Cause 2 hit 6m registered players 2 years ago (likely over 8m registered players now), yet VGC currently has the sales at 3.39m.

Yes Shika is right. At max multiple accounts, rentals, game sharing will not account for more than 1m or 1.5m at max and that figure was released few months back so I think game will be 8.5 by right now so subtract 8.5 - 1.5 = 7m sales and VGC has it for 4.27m and I know digital is growing but it is no way as big as retail right now. On average 20-25% sales are digital sales (I guess based on few game sales) which means 1.5 to 1.75m digital sales. Add the numbers and sales will be near 6m where are the rest of the sales. I am pretty sure it is undertracked.

What makes me more happy is Titanfall only released on Xbox One, 360 and PC and still has sold 6.5 to 7m which is a pretty good figure. The game would have sold much more if EA would have given Respawn a bit more time. I think the game will be able to sell 8 to 8.5m by the time Titanfall 2 comes out.

Me too, although I wouldn't mind if it goes to Batman or Metal Gear Solid.

I am about 65% into Ori and I must say it is one of the greatest platformers I have ever played. Awesome story, amazing controls and its challenging.

Nice avatar guys.

Edit: I'm referring to the avatars of Shikamaru and Noble



Proud to be a Californian.

I still think you are underestimating used game sales.

Oh, and don't forget all the people that would have played the free trial but not bought it...

Oh thanks now I think the sales will be near 6m-6.5m pretty much the same number what Shika said but still I believe the game is bit undertracked.

I agree with those who said too many players are just a cluster fuc... I never really understood why some are like "even 32vs32 is way too less", not only is it often very chaotic but your own skill starts to be totally useless with too many players. If you play 4on4 or 8on8 your own skill and what you do is very important. If you play 64vs64 or even 128vs128 it doesn't change much what you do. You can just stand in a corner and do nothing and the chance to win is still almost the same. You are after all only one or two percent of the total amount of players in your team.

It can be fun for a few hours but if I plan to play a competitive game for 50 or even  100+ hours, it just doesn't do much for me knowing that I don't have to try my best to change much.  

16vs16 in a Halo mode would be ok, 32vs32 would be probably too much fror me.
