Pretty much expected all the handwaving and FUD as soon as I saw the Xone pull ahead globally, LOL.

Still, to pretend these numbers aren't impressive is ridiculous considering that the Xbox One is only out in less than a third of the countries the PS4 is. Now the issue becomes whether or not it will have a long term effect; there won't be many big exclusives between now and Fall, so it'll be interesting to see whether this changes the dynamic over the next few months.

To be honest, I'm still doubtful about the Xone's prospects through the rest of the year. The price/performance issue is still going to hang over MS until we get a full, proper price drop, and Titanfall did jack shit for them outside the States. Even with the supply issues, the PS4 still outsold them in Europe this week. We'll just have to see I guess.

But ps4 supplie + arguably the biggest release of the year + free with xbone + 20 k lead = not impressive.

So it's now official, Titanfall didn't move hardwarev that much because most people who wanted already bought ths console.

I had a good laugh reading the prediction topic x)


could you provide a link? 


I saw some here, but pretty sure there are other topics : http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=180093&page=1#


That's no different than the majority voting for inFamous metacritic to be over 90. Or fans massively voting for Wii U to outsell X1 in Q1. Fans vote for highest possibilities.

 

Which will sell more in Q1 - Xbox One or WiiU?
Xbox One 290 41.85%
 
WiiU 353 50.94%
 
Tie 50 7.22%
 
Total: 693

155,106 vs. 74,441 is a 108% increase week over week.

am i wrong to be not all that impressed? i mean, for the GotG and for being this early in the generation where an exclusive game can have the highest amount of impact.

Please stop calling it GotG tongue in cheek.

Of course it's like that on all sides. It doesn't make it any less funny.

72% boost of PS4 sales in the UK but only a 2k boost week over week in all of europe? Something seems very fishy, or was stock that low?


A 72% boost in the UK would put it up ~ 4k, so it may well have dropped by ~ 2k in the rest of Europe averaging a ~ 2k boost overall.

Alternatively, VGC didn't agree with the 72% boost figure.

I thought it would have boosted the Xbox One sales to 200k for week one. Rather weak boost imo. Also only 500k sales with 3.7m consoles out there? Killzone Shadow Fall and Ryse both got 250k on week one when only a million consoles were released. No wonder Microsoft had EA delay the 360 version. Definitely not the sales they were expecting.


These are US numbers for Titanfall, not worldwide

That's a valid statement for Ryse, but not particularly for Killzone. SF's 1st week pretty much was US sales (220k out of 250k), since the EU was a little while after. He is right though, TF's sales are likely less than what MS/EU were hoping for. They are still huge numbers, but not quite as huge as many (including myself) were expecting.

For context, many people here thought it was more than reasonable that the "2.5 million before the end of the month" prediction was perfectly possible, even likely. That's now pretty unlikely. I doubt it could have pulled it off even if the 360 version launched at the same time.


Titanfall US only has outsold Killzone Shadowfall's North American lifetime in the 1st week

These anonymous polls always end up as BS because of the fanboys. Better to just read the comments if you want a clearer picture. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

With respect to console sales, I am not impressed.... and I can't imagine MS is impressed...
