VGC will track digital sales in US just when NPD stated too... same happened in Japan... VGC started to track Japan digital sales when Famitsu and MC started too.

I wouldn't get hopes up, I just learned the VGchartz is being more progressive with the times and now counts digital games with console sales. So that said, its going to be a big gap.


That's wise of you. VGChartz has no plans to count digital, as they can't so far. Knack is the only exception so far, which is made very easy as PS4 sales in JAPAN = Knack sales.

Just extending the same advice to my enemies that I follow. VGchartz did it with Knack, they can do it with Titanfall, even if they have to do a little guesstimates to seperate Titanfall bundles from other X1 sales.

Like gender/race/cival rights equality battles we face today, Vgchartz is taking progressive measures to reduce "digital games prejudice" :P

Not that I am disagreeing with you because I want all digital games to be tracked, but have you or anyone confirmed that the site will track digital now?  Like has anyone mentioned it to ioi and got clarification?  I know why the Knack bundle is tracked in Japan was because it was the only sku at the time but with X1 they have multiple sku's now with TF, F5 and the standard one. It would be nice to actually confirm the tracking of digital.

I wouldn't agree with games bought digitally on the marketplace. But at least digital games included with the console. I was told that vgchartz counted the Fifa/Forza 5 digital bundles in Europe at X1's launch. So there is hope.

TitanFall - will outsell infamous easily just because FPS game..
TitanFall will sell between 2-10 million units (pc,360,XB1)
if its a hit then 5-15 million (pc,360,XB1)
If Titanfall as on ps3,ps4 also then easily 5-15 million
if its hit and all plats then 15-30 million lifetime
it will replace COD series as the preferred FPS

No, just no. Destiny will be much bigger.

"Insiderp". HHAHAHAHAHHAHA

What an unfortunate name; I find it hard to trust a website with the word "derp" in its name.

Would make sense. I stand by my prediction that WW, inFamous will outsell the X1 version of Titanfall. The expectations for TF are just absurd for the most part. It'll boost X1 sales for a week or two but that's about it. After March, it'll flatline until there's an actual X1 price cut.

Infamous: Second Son has over 600,000 pre-orders worldwide

We are the first gaming site on the planet that leaked SONY's sell-through number of 5.3 million units, 2 full days prior to the company's official press release. Today, we are excited to inform you that the highly anticipated PS4 title Infamous : Second Son has over 600,000 pre-orders worldwide. The number is coming to you courtesy of the same SONY employee, who initially revealed to us the 5.3 million figure. The surprising part of the number is that the pre-orders are evenly split across PAL and North American regions. Typically, Infamous franchise has sold more in North America.

UPDATE 1:

We also have Titanfall: Xbox One North American numbers.

As of March 3,2014 , Titanfall : Xbox One version has over 385,000 preorders in North America. We don't have the Euro numbers yet.

The site was exposed by neogaf back when they made other claims. Insidederp didn't predict anything that anyone who looked at this site couldn't determine.
