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.

I also linked Gamestop................

I see that, kinda weird that the $250 collectors edition is #3 on Gamestop. I feel like Gamestop's Online Store isn't as creditable as the regular stores. Which you can't track unless you're BenV

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.

It's been number 2 for a while.  Has nothing to do with it falling now.  Amazon is still a good predictor, regardless of February NPD.

Maybe one day titanfall will be on the PS4........It's ok there is no need to be bitter.

It moved to #2 on March 11th. Amazon and Gamestop are primarily where PS4 shipments go, while most Xbox Ones are sold in Walmarts. Seeing as how Xbox One was so low on Amazon's list for February (23), its not a good comparison of how it or its games are selling.

Way to pull things out of your ass.  You can believe what you want, but the fact will remain that the XBone will only fall further behind in March and beyond.

Correct.. Fanboys seem to be clinging onto Amazon lately. Strange given all the positive news coming out of February NPD for Xone and huge expectations for March which will likely be met. It is a form cherry picking to only look at the charts where ones favourite console appears to be topping. Feb NPD did not reflect Amazon's charting (or lack of) of xboxone and PS4/ Xone which where within 10% of each other. Stop clinging to Amazon fanboys! There are thousands of other outlets in America. Titanfall's success along with the surprise NPD results (given the higher cost and lower power of the XboxOne - OMG how could this be; Ps4 was supposed to outsell Xone by 2:1) seems to have hit a raw nerve with Sony fanboys. The angst has never been more evident Lol!

Titanfall is a blast, and the best FPS multiplayer game iv played. Destiny will be good, Halo 5 will be better. XB1 has some of the best FPS games of all time. Only needs Half Life 3 to join the que.

Damn so much salt and bitter hate in this thread. The power of dat Titanfall compels them.

Once MS announced the UK price drop and a free Titanfall fame to boot, I had expected them to sell out of those bundles, with all the hype and marketing.
But yesterday, Zavvi shaved another 20£ off the RRP, so I guess the bundle is not selling all that well as expected.
I'm truly surprised, but I guess if you wanted to buy an XOne, now is the perfect opportunity.

I think they mean hundreds of thousands online at a given time, hotshots.

"hundreds of thousands have been playing since Tuesday when it launched in the US."  Sounds more like hundreds of thousands of sales.  Even if they're talking about hundreds of thousands online at a given time, the game is online only and it just came out.  I'm sure peak hours probably had every single player at one point.  Well.  Except for those who couldn't get online on the Xbox One because of the online issues it's been having for the past few days.


You mean for less than 1 day. Not "past few".

I can't wait til you turn. I don't know when or how, but it happens. Today you defend games released broken, and one day you will just snap. I've seen it so many times on vgc
