Infamous will never be bigger than a shooter. People are not man enough to grasp the epicness that is Infamous.

Hogwash, Assassins creed, skyrim, GTA, all huge not FPS games.

I don't recall mentioning any of those.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

The definition of "proof" could use some work.

At any rate, those digital pre-order numbers seem awfully high. 700K for a game that still doesn't even have an announced release date?

It has a release date but your point still stands.

Digital pre-order is 3 times greater than retail?

This would have to be some form of world record then too, surely? For a full retail console game anyway.

Each week the retail US preorder charts have been showing a slowing rate. 3 weeks ago it was 15 vs 12, then 11 vs 8, then 11 vs 8, now 6.5 vs 5.7

The gap is clearly closing rapidly, with only a 20k difference between the two.

HOWEVER

what the chart doesn't take into effect is USA digital preorders, which are as follows

Destiny (PS4)
Activision, Action

N/A

14,237

701,894

2

inFAMOUS: Second Son limited edition (PS4)
Sony Computer Entertainment, Action

9

18,519

651,322

3

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy (3DS)
Nintendo, Role-Playing

3

16,772

634,912

4

Watch Dogs (PS4)
Ubisoft, Action

N/A

16,545

584,331

15

Titanfall (XOne)
Electronic Arts, Shooter

8

5,591

82,794

Where do these numbers come from? Worldwide?

Source?

Wow that's interesting. What's a digital preorder though? I've never heard of it.

And this is important because?

Are two exclusives not able to coexist without having to demolish each other in sales?

If one sells more than the other, what does it tell us about the consoles they are on, that they are more popular? Wouldn't that undermine the game selling on its own rights?

I think the perceived importance is in the fact that some Xb one fans are suggesting that TF is the second coming of Halo and that it's going to cause Xb one to leapfrog PS4, partly because there's nothing of offer that is as big in the same release window. But clearly Second Sons is a substantial PS4 release, which is as likely (probably more likely because it's a genuine exclusive) to push PS4 sales as TF is likely to push Xb one sales.

Basically SS vs. TF is a proxy for the larger PS4 vs. Xb one sales competition, to some people.
