Great! I really wish MS would make an announcement on its sales. I don't wanna wait a month for NPD's figures!!

Nice try using the hourly best sellers.

Edit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014-02/videogames Even #7 in February 

Using the hourly list is entirely appropriate if you are showing that something is currently falling.

Only hundreds of thousands? Shouldn't it be at least a million? Hundreds of thousands is good, but not for the most anticipated game of the year. With all the hype, one could expect a million sold the first day. Also, why is PS4 like 10 spots ahead of the Titanfall bundle on Amazon? Seems like Titanfall will not be the huge success MS hoped for. It seems that severe supply constraints are behind the lowering PS4 sales.

And I thought Destiny was the most anticipated game of the year. Thanks MS for clearing that up.

Unless of course they mean for themselves because Titanfall is a lot more important for them than for gamers.


It is the most anticipated so fa from my view point. not just for the crowd that will pick it up but also for the sony fanboys that hope so hard that it fails they couldn't think of anything else. despite not being on the ps4 titanfall has ben talked about far more than destiny. Infact, the only time destiny is mentioned is in some sort of reference stemming from a titanfall discussion such as this. 

For the past few weeks if we scale the world based on this one forum community, these boards have been littered with titanfall threads from known supporters and known downplayers alike.

Everyone was waiting on this game for one reason or another.

Now lets see just how much people care to talk about destiny.

It's really weird that more people talk about Titanfall than Destiny even though Titanfall was just released and Destiny is still half a year away.

Go figure.

If it was really falling it wouldn't have moved up to #2 for March. Also looking at Xbox One's February NPD with Amazon's february list, I wouldn't use Amazon as a direct source for how sales are going.

Microsoft always knows how to boast about what they don't make.

So Sony wasn't boasting about GTA V, Destiny, Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed and all the indies that they didn't make?

I also linked Gamestop...................Denial much? the Xbone TF bundle NEVER made it past 8th place on Amazon, and NEVER made it past number 3 on Gamestop. The game topped the amazon list for a couple of days AFTER the PS4 when temporarily out of stock, and it was also briefly number one in gamestop, but as you can see now, they're falling rapidly, mainly on Gamestop. Titanfall will only give the Xbone a short burst and then it will evaporate.
