Forums - Sales - Analysts: Titanfall Q4 shipments to hit 2.4 million, 6 million to ship during current year

We prefer 'Amateur Proctologist' and you're right to trust us. We're almost a doctor.

Numbers seem about right but I came in thinking 6m? Like the man from Purdue. Riight, 3 plats nvm.

Well analysts will be way wrong... 360 was delayed and that will kill their prediction.

I guess for Q1 they will ship ~1.5m copies for PC and Xbone.



Well, maybe a tad high I think. It will probably top 4 million by years end.

Shipping == sold. There's been way more than 1.5m Titanfall copies shipped since over 1m has been sold already.

Is it? I'm afraid EA or MS didn't shared sold numbers yet... I'm not sure if it broke 1 million.

How do you ship digital downloads?



We will see. Across all platforms? Maybe it could hit 6 million by years end but I really doubt it. Usually games that come out early in the year like Titanfall end up just being buried by the end of the year (holiday season) because of all of the new hot software coming out. 7 - 8 months in the gaming world right now is an eternity. You are the hot game for a month or two and then everyone moves on.



6 million for PC/X1 and 360 seems very attainable. At least shipped anyway and if those X1 bundles continue to be in supply.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

So its doing better or worse than people expected?

Still need to give the game a go myself.

True. In the leadup to Titanfall I saw CONSTANT barrage of posts coming through Twitter/FB/etc relating to it. Now that it's out, that has fallen basically to zero other than the relatively small numbers of people playing it (unfairly compared to systems with much higher numbers of active players vs. PS4/XB1).

The media hype machines will move on to other stuff, and post-E3 Titanfall will be almost completely forgotten about.

I'm almost wondering if the Titanfall hype was TOO big. I've never seen anything like it in 30+ years of gaming. Overexposure might have left most people with nothing more to really say about it.
