LOL, ~second biggest console market in the world, a lot of users on here are from the UK and sales generally correlate with the US. Stop being so closed minded thinking US is everything.

Think it was more to discredit Xbox success then say the US market means everything.

If the thread was talking about the US, he would have likely said the US pales in comparison to the rest of the world.

Not at all! It's just with all the UK related threads and news these days it made me think... I mean 19k sales for hardware on a brilliant week can't really be classed as 'globally significant' regardless of console!

I'm not a fanboy so keep your snide comments to yourself in future please ;)

Sorry for not being as big as the US. 

Titanfall vs InFamous - two next-gen exclusives compared

This month has seen both next-gen consoles finally get their hands on a big exclusive, but what do the arrivals of Titanfall and InFamous: Second Son reveal?

Well, we know that InFamous helped PS4 hardware sales jump by 106 per cent week-on-week. Titanfall, meanwhile, helped Xbox One to a 96 per cent sales boost.

MCV has also been told by a trusted retail source that Titanfall sold just under double the amount of units its first week than InFamous managed in its debut week, although of course Titanfall sales fell around 75 per cent in its second week leaving it behind both Sony's game and Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.

MCV can also reveal that around one in four UK Xbox One owners purchased Titanfall. Meanwhile, around one in nine PS4 owners acquired InFamous: Second Son.

None of this takes digital purchases directly from Microsoft and Sony into account, however.

It’s easy to argue that really InFamous and Titanfall are sufficiently different in theme and potential reach so as to render such comparisons meaningless. However, it’s just as easy to argue that at a time when hundreds of thousands of consumers are desperate to get their hands on new games for their still new gaming hardware, the performance of these early titles is telling.

I'm from the UK... Not US...

i see one MAJOR flaw in this, Infamous to this day has only been out 5 days so to say that it sold half as much in its initial week its just dumb unless you count a full week, the game only came out friday which means MCV only has the numbers for maybe 3 days because this was writting on the 24th the game came out on the 21st, which really means they probably only had sales data for 2 days being they wrote said article on the 3rd day  now im not saying its going to outsell titanfall im just saying lets compare apples to apples here 2 or 3 days does not equal 7 in anybodys world.

So how can you say the UK is insignificant globally?
