Forums - Sales - Infamous SS : Selling better than Titanfall(XB1)= FAIL

Dadrik on 21 March 2014

TitanFall is almost as hyped as a new Call Of Duty. Of course it will sell better than a "medium" IP.

And seriously, what the hell is that logic ?

Condisering the fact that none of the inFAMOUS games ever sold more than 3 M units (retail), inFAMOUS: Second Son would be a failure if it sold less than TitanFall ?

If TitanFall reaches 5 M units this year, and inFAMOUS SS reaches 4 M, would it be a failure ? Please.

Anyways, that was a dumb statement. Both are great games, and they will have big sales. End of story.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

Is the title supposed to be not selling better? or is it a fail no matter what?


If it doesn't sell 2 to 1 better, it is a failure.  So, if it sells better than Titanfall and yet doesn't sell 2 to 1 it fails...

Shouldn't the title be more like "If Second son doesn't outsell Titanfall with a 2:1 ratio it fails"?  and well I respectfully disagree, as long as Second son sells well and makes a profit it shouldn't be considered as a "fail".

Cant a mod just close this thread, its clear flame bait with no interesting content in the original post, other than to provoke people.

I mean there isn't even data in the OP to show titanfall sales, to even put into perspective what 2:1 would mean for Infamous.


So, the thread has to be closed because we don't have solid numbers yet?  Better stop coming to this website then.  Most every sales thread is based on guessing and sheer gut feelings. 



It is near the end of the end....

Worst thread ever.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

This guy is secretly a genius. Typing something so absurd, so mind bending, lacking in so much logic that we all come together to battle a common enemy: Russia.

Throw in a 1 day ban for trolling, too. 

There actually is sales info though. 581k (X1) for 5 days according to VGChartz.

NO it should to be closed because your flame baiting. Either that or your genuinly worried Infamous will outsell Titanfall and are trying to change expectations so that you can make it fails threads no matter what it sells.

I agree that the title could be more long winded, but that is what the op is for.  I did change it to say XB1 to gain some clarity.

So to be considered a success it almost has to outsell it's predecessors lifetime retail sales in 2 days?

Sure...



Someone please spare us all and get this thread out of here.

How is sharing an opinion of a sales scenario flame baiting unless you have some type of personal bias? 

I don't worry that Infamous SS will outsell Titanfall on XB1.  I would expect that it should.  The PS4 has almost double the install base of the XB1.  The Infamous series is a well established series, and the PS4 has a shortage of AAA titles right now.

Why does it have to be that people can't discuss the obvious comparison? 

It seems that unless the OP is slanted towards the fact that the PS4 is more powerful than the XB1 or that the WiiU or and XB1 are doomed, a discussion can't be had?
