Sony: inFamous: Second Son has “significant demand”, will be “good to have” against TitanFall

The huge success of PlayStation 4 is surely a good news for Sony. As with most popular platforms, Sony also has plans to support the hardware with software. SCE UK’s managing director Fergal Gara is quite confident in their upcoming software lineup for PlayStation 4.

Speaking in an interview to Eurogamer, Fergal Gara seemed happy with the sales success of the PlayStation 4. When he was asked how Sony is going to support the PlayStation 4 with software, since Microsoft is getting TitanFall exclusively in March; Gara was confident that the PlayStation 4′s software output would be enough to generate sales for the hardware in the coming months.

“We take nothing for granted. A strong start is just that. Do we have lots of good stuff coming? Yes we do. Do they have strong stuff coming? Yes, we think so. So it’s continued to maximise every opportunity we’ve got. The best opportunity we’ve got is that momentum, and people are coming back to PlayStation. There are lots of new people, too – I won’t draw conclusions as to where they came from, but it’s been really exciting.”

Gara added: “The likes of inFamous is shaping up well, that’s going to have significant demand. Is it going to be bigger or smaller than Titanfall? I don’t know. It’s a play in the very same time window, and that’s good to have.”

inFamous: Second Son is set to launch on 21st March, 2014. TitanFall will arrive a week earlier on 11th March, 2014. Both titles have generated a lot of hype and are expected to do big numbers.

DriveClub was another title for the PlayStation 4 that was promised at launch but never made its official date. Gara considers the title “quiet ambitious” and calls the delay as a way to polish the title further.

“The only reason that product was delayed and we haven’t accurately communicated a revised release date is that we want it to be right. There’s a fair promise in that tile in what it wants to do with social features and really innovating in the driving genre. There’s no point in it coming out and half doing that job. It was quite ambitious and didn’t quite get there in the timeline hoped. That’s not great, but it’s far better to bring it out at the standard…”

DriveClub has yet to receive an official release date from Sony.

xbox fan versus playstation fan arguments over the quality and popularity of the two mentioned titles in 3, 2....

Action fans, inFamous is best
FPS fans, Titanfall is best.


Let the sales of these games speak for themselves. My prediction inFamous>>> Titanfall.

Prediction, Microsoft releases vauge press releases reporting combined numbers for xbox one and xbox 360, as "xxxx units of software sold for the xbox".

InFamous :SS is Sony's first big title, like Titanfall is for the Xbox one (granted it is not an exclusive to the Xbox one). I think it's silly to pit them against each, in sales competition, seeing as FPSs are dominating the market and Titanfall will likely sell much more than SS (Counting only Xbone sells) but then again, they are in direct competition as far as pushing out hardware

Still, its a good month for the PS4 and Xbox One. We are finally gonna get a taste of next-gen games and not just polished graphics like Killzone and Ryse.

And the Wii U will have...donkey kong? Eh.

As for Driveclub, I say take your time, Evolution studios. Me and my bro are big fans of the motorstorm franchise and although we wanted another one, this seems like a nice arcade-y departure from their usual games. Take your time, polish the shit out of it and kick Forza 5's ass when it hits.

Titanfall being available on 3 consoles (XboxOne/ PC/ box) vs inFamous on PS4, I think Titanfall will sell better.
However, I think as with Killzone:SF selling 2.1 million, inFAMOUS should sell just as well or even better. I'm getting it day 1.

Now.....what are the console wars terms of engagement?

Do we count 360/X1 Titanfall sales vs Infamous or just X1 vs Infamous?

EDIT: This "significant" demand is kinda amusing.....where were you guys when Infamous 2 released????? ;)

not sure how the sales numbers will play out, i think titanfall as a franchise is likely to win due to being on 360/xbone/PC. comparing just titanfall xbone to infamous i think infamous will win. the user base advantage ps4 has alone should guarantee that.

but for me personally, infamous is a system seller. i will buy a ps4 specifically for infamous.

i think comparing titanfall X1 to infamous would be more fair

hey i did my part...i bought the special edition on day 1

SS is going to be the PS4 second big title. I think it'll sell very well.
