Titanfall (Xbox One) back in front of Titanfall (PC) on Amazon's hourly charts, the Titanfall bundle is also rising on the hourly charts again.

I'm expecting some sort of sales update from EA or Microsoft, sold or shipped. Just something ... soon.

Hopefully. We should get Vgchartz numbers by Friday at the very least.

IMO they're waiting for XB1 sell through to reach 1m before saying anything.

April Update:

What to expect in this update preview

For those of you that participated in last month’s (1403) update preview, this preview wave will be a little different:

The 1404 update preview will run a bit longer than the 1403 preview. As a result, not all of the features listed below will be available in the first 1404 update. Some features will be enabled in 1404 updates that are rolled out later in the preview.

Some of the features listed below will be enabled outside of a console update. Keep an eye on the forums for announcements and information on when new features are made available.

What’s new in this release?

  • Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.
  • Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This actually was one of the most frequently requested features from the first preview wave and we made it a priority to include it in the April update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list. We’ll also add the ability to view friends’ most popular apps.
  • Blu-ray 50 Hz video output support for content recorded at 50 Hz will resolve video playback issues some Xbox Live members in Europe are experiencing.
  • Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to fine tune the quality and reliability of Xbox One commands.
  • Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.
  • Updates to Xbox One device management to address issues controlling TVs, set top boxes, and receivers that our customers have reported.
  • New audio settings to tune how much volume is lowered when Kinect is used in communications.

^Still no 1280x1024 support huh. Guess I'll have to get a new monitor.

Yeah dude, lol, I think you're in the minority. For me, I'm waiting for a Directv fix for fast forwarding and rewinding; overal stability.

Watch you buy one, and then the next update supports it... xD
