Forums - Sales Discussion - Prediction: Second Son (PS4) Will Outsell Titanfall (Xbox One) in Lifetime

beeje13 on 12 January 2014

Could do but I doubt sony would do that. I'm hoping they market second son heavily, after all, its an open world game with super powers, that should be enough!

 

EDIT: Personally I think Watch Dogs will sell just as many PS4s as Second son. It might be corss platform and cross generation but it looks quality.

Titanfall is not going to be near as big as some think here.


When was the last time you saw a new IP that's a competitive multiplayer focused shooter with this much hype? Over 75 Awards before its even out with literally everyone who's played it saying its defining a new generation of fps multiplayer.


Irrelevant, Hitman absolution was the rave of e3 and won many awards how did that turn out?

It won 14 awards.. 

over 75 > 14

Irrelevant. , and just 1 example, many a game has won many awards and hype at e3 only to fizzle.............e3 hypes means squat, very few actually gamers will even be aware of that. Also, the ps4 install base will be quite bigger then x1 by the time infamous launches.

 

Lol ok, I'm gonna quote you and say "Install base often doesn't mean much."

Resistance 1 over 4 million, launch title, resisatnce 2 and 3 say hi.

 

Gran turismo, every second title with a much bigger install base sells less, and on and on, hundreds of examples. Quote away. Hyped game on new system, will sell regardless of install base.

 

Also, ps4 will have a bigger install base, so I guess you admit infamous well sell more if it means so much then?


Infamous is also a SP game and if we are going off previous installments it's a mediocore one too.

Ouch.  Have you ever played Infamous?  I understand not everyone will like every game, but I definitely wouldn't consider them mediocore.

pretty good thread and bold prediction

but im gonna have to say you'll be wrong, infamous is a dying franchise and to add insult to injury sucker punch went MP, with the first one at 2.7 and the 2nd at 1.6 i can only see the PS4 version at best doing no more than 3-4M. lots of sony s early franchises from the beginning of there gens have died out some that come to mind from last gen are motostorm, warhawk, socom and resistance i can see the same happening with KZ and infamous

titanfall is a new franchise made by devs that prove that they can make 10M sellers, gen is in early stages lots of gamers looking for new gameplay experiences with the early console SW drought, i can see titanfall having longer legs and higher total sales

You played it? Medicore cause you say so, an xbox fan?? No.

 

Also Infamous 2 had user generated content. Open world games are pretty popular. Online only, being on PC and 360, ona  slower selling system will hurt TF.

Can you elaborate on the reasons that make it a dying franchise?



This, I stole from grandpa...It's called soap.

If infamous second son is bundled and titanfall doesn't get good reviews then it's possible.
But my bet is titanfall selling more due to hype.



kupomogli on 12 January 2014

That $100 price difference is a huge selling pointt for the PS4, so there's a possibility that Infamous Second Son might get more sales.and gain more of a fanbase for the Infamous franchise.

I'm leaning towards Titanfall selling better, but can't be too sure. If PS4 keeps selling like it does and the release of Titanfall and Halo don't put a large dent in the PS4 US sales, then Infamous has a good chance.

A possible leak of a sequel in PS4 (actually a mutliplatform) may hurt sales even more. I'll keep my ears open.

Depending on sales you may never see this multiplatform. If it sells really well expect MS to make a play for the studio and IP.
