Yup, this is what an actual system seller looks like. Poor Titanfall.


Coming from the guy who still thinks Infamous will somehow outsell Titanfall lol.


Being wrong on a prediction invalidates one's opinion? News to me. I got that one wrong, big deal. Do you have 100% accuracy in your predictions? 

Of course not, but these posts here are obviously your little agenda of getting back at Titanfall for outselling Infamous. Even when Titanfall was far ahead with the weekly sales gap being huge you kept at it, trying to downplay sales. I guess now is when you'll finally admit it. 


Nah, inFamous got close, but I ended up being wrong in the end. No shame in that. What I didn't fail on was predicting that TF wouldn't be that big of a system seller, which I was completely right on. MK8 is an actual system seller. 

Heck, I suppose Watch Dogs was as much a system seller for the PS4 as Titanfall for the X1.

Maybe you shouldn't come across like your shit don't stink since you know you were wrong.

I'm sure Titanfall were close but that was on over 80 million install base. Or is it on PC too? Whatever good to see games selling.



Yep.

If he's talking just current gen (X1-only), he may actually be right (look at this week's WW numbers for both, with inFAMOUS selling nearly 30K more). Depending on bundles/price cuts, it actually has a shot.

OT: Not surprising. Mario Kart is one of Nintendo's largest IPs (certainly larger than most that come from just about any publisher). To be honest, the only one that is  a bit of shock is Second Son. It's done much better than I thought it would, coming off of the heels of previously moderate sellers.

Still, I take nothing from Mario Kart. For me, it's the best in the series since Mario Kart 64.


Oh please,  that's because its the 1st week in Japan.

MKart is a huge franchise though. the one on the wii is over 34 million I think. even halo and gt can't come close to that. so what were you expecting.

The real surprise is WD on ps4 giving a better HW boost than TF on X1 in launch week UK, based on the recent news.

and didn't TF sell nearly a million in week one on X1 and Infamous 9 days on ps4. That's not almost three weeks -_-

WOAH A new IP and a B-tier series got outsold by one of the largest franchises in gaming history!



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Im curious to see hardware bump from this game like does this game bought mostly by the existing user base(who are core nintendo fans so they should purchase this game as this is popular franchise) or many new comers are there. Lets compare the PS4 WD hardware bump to Wii U with this game.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Guys this is from a weekend not a full week

RIP Iwata 12/6/1959-7/11/2015

Thanks for all the great memories!

Infamous Second Son pulling the numbers it did after the underwhelming sales of Infamous 2 is a solid victory in itself same thing about Titanfall a completely new IP in the next gen system with the lowest install base (so far).

Anyone expecting Mario Kart 8 (which comes with a free digital game by the way) to bomb is delusional.

-tly.

 

I think some of my fellow Nintendo fans bought into the haters declarations of Nintendoom a little. The Wii-U is not gonna be a 'complete failure' just because it isn't this generation's PS2/Wii.
