Oh the hype for Infamous 2 was as big as for Infamous SS? Where are you getting that from? Why don't we look at the numbers for the two games that we can actually compare, the pre orders.

inFAMOUS 2 (PS3) Sony Computer Entertainment, Action

53,306

Man that sure looks like hype is exactly the same.

Don't get me wrong Titanfall will outsell Infamous in the US, most definitely and in the UK probably as well, but in the rest of the European countries and the rest of the world? I wouldn't be so sure, now granted, Infamous has never been big in Europe, but with this game being the first and for a long time only big post launch PS4 exclusive and thus having the spotlight more or less for itself, it is pretty much guaranteed that the franchise is going to grow in Europe.

Also your comment that most successful games get the majority of their sales in the US is nothing but utter ignorance, look at this:

Every highly successful PS3 game has gotten over 50% of its sales outside of the US, it's Xbox games that get the majority of their sales in the USA not all games.

And I should probably clarify that I'm talking about Titanfall on X1 only here, btw.

Yes exactly and Sony with have a better ratio one would think this gen compared to last, so naturally all of Sony's ips will have an increase. On top of this the ps4 will have a 2+ millon unit lead over the xbox one at the launch of these tow games. I'm not sure why everyone is so cetain titanfall will win easily.

I'll be brief.

Pre-orders have grown much stronger these past years. Plus you can't compare pre-order numbers of a new IP with an established one. Even though they're the same game,it was just an example.

Second, I didn't specify which system sold games better in the US. I said it in general, which makes me right. Yes I'm sure, PC,X360,Wii etc...

The larger console base of the PS4 will give Second Son much better legs in the long run.

Everyone? Am I everyone?

Who was makeing thread discrediting Titanfall? Xbox owners?

metacritic will decide which one sells more imo

Like larger install base that was PS3 gave Infamous 1&2?

I'm not saying that Titanfall will surely surpass Infamous, but for Infamous track record, Titanfall will surpass it's previous numbers.

If infamous was on X1, Iwould've bought it over Titanfall. I love open world games.

Infamous 2 also came out the same week as E3 so it got buried by the media. I also can't recall all this hype your talking about for Infamous 2.

And you would have to be delusional to think that pre orders have not gotten four times stronger over the last three years. 

Also INfamous 2 came out on a much larger install base than Infamous SS is.

Both games will sell fine it doesn't matter which one sells better

Are you saying a larger install base will not impact the sales of games on that console?

And nobody cares if TItanfall can surpass games from 2009 and 2011 but one coming out the same month on a similar/more powerfull system.

And Infamous 2 was much more of the same than Infamous Second Son is not to mention the timing of its release.
