Just kidding.

Wow, That's REALLY good for a brand new just launched game in off season. Sometimes it really helps to be a sequel. I wonder how Infamous would have sold as a new IP.

It would have sold approximately 2.73m. 

Oh, didn't realize is sold every single game only on the first week. No boost from being out over 5 years, no boost from followups to the original games, no bundles....

So you must be thinking that TitanFall will sell like 10 million then?  Or closer to 12!?!

It was a joke bro. You asked how would Infamous would have sold if it was a new IP, so I said 2.73m, which is exactly how much the first Infamous sold. Get it? 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Did the math in the other thread and combining it with vgchartz hardware numbers we get about 125k for Titanfall and 75k for infamous.

That 2:1 probably factored in PC numbers as well.

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,

With the margin of error on VGChartz, it seems to add up with this statement.

Titanfall had more than a week's head start, and was on PC as well.

Both came out on a Friday in UK. This article clearly states Titanfall 1st week UK > inFamous 1st week UK.

Sorry, I was going more by the title. Did they factor in PC sales though? Didn't see that mentioned.

Great! maybe people on N4G will stop talking bad about titanfall sales. I mean really, apparently titanfall is all hype but infamous is the true Second coming (no pun intended). Yet even above all the hype reviewers rated titanfall higher.

 

I just dont get it. I bet there'll still be hate on titanfall.

First week retail titanfall in US, 580k on xbox one 50k on pc. I bet its the same ratio in the UK. Pc barely affected it. Retail wise~

No...just no. Lets not think about that. It took long enough to reach where it is. Don't think about InFamous being a new IP the way the first game was handled.  

It's like you are grabbing me in a war zone saying, 'Shhhhh, no.....no....talk......just quiet...

...be very quiet.....  Will be peacefull soon......'

Ok, S.T.A.G.E. , I say, tell me the story again how we saved the princess?  (gunfire heard in the background.)

(Sad disturbing image)





 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
