Forums - Sales - Destiny PS4 beats Titanfall sales on XB1 after only 1 week vs Titanfall's many months!

Neodegenerate on 26 September 2014

I love these popcorn threads.

Overall userbase isn't a great tool to use for an excuse from any side of things. This is especially true when you are talking about a game format (FPS) that does much better in one region (US) than it does in all other regions. Look at the userbase and sales in that one region (US) for actual comparisons of how things are going for that particular title.

I know I am just parroting back what some others have said, but feel it is worth repeating.

Not that I agree with comparing Destiny to Titanfall (although they do have their similarities),  but if you take this argument into account and consider that both the PS3 and 360 have userbases of 80 million, it would not explain why the majority of games struggle to hit 1 million in sales. 

Somewhere there must be 79 million people staring at their shiny consoles and wondering why they aren't playing anything.

I said this in the discussion with 17 million active XBLG subscriptions. We don't know how many consoles are still "active". Look at how many PS2 have been sold and now look how "good" Fifa 14 sold for PS2 ;)

I'm one of them!  Got every 7th and 8th gen console and having a tough time getting excited about anything. Why is this underlined!?  Anyway, for me, it's kind of a weird stage.  7th gen games aren't as appealing because the hardware feels old.  8th gen games aren't as appealing because they don't feel as impressive as i want them too.  So in the course of a few months, I've gone from a guy that would buy any and everything to a guy that doesn't buy anything.

you can "but the userbase" me when destiny is given away as a free addition even half as much as titanfall was.


And still the Titanfall bundle was more expensive than the Destiny bundle. There are more truths out there and selecting only one to show something is never enough to make you look like unbiased or to transport a well-informed opinion.

The Titanfall XB1 bundle was cheaper than an XB1 without Titanfall, while the Destiny PS4 bundle is more expensive than a PS4 console without any bundled game.

That's what I said when we compared Uncharted 3 to Gears 3!!  Nobody cared that U3 was free a lot of the time.

Speaking just for myself, I say the battle is over. PlayStation won. There's nothing that Microsoft has done or will do to complete favorably with Sony at this point. The writing was on the wall since before the gen began. It's going to be PS2 level domination. So yeah, based on userbase, even mediocre games are going to dominate the Wii U and Xbox One heavy hitters.

So a game made by Activisipn and Bungie is a given to beat a game made by.... Whoever the hell mad TitanFall. That's just how I see it. Sony fans may want to run it in the face of other console fans but it's pointless. You guys won. Enjoy it.

Oh yea, I forgot that Titanfall was made by a bunch of nobodies.  Well, just a ton of former Infinity Ward devs, including the heads of the team.  You know, the guys who just made those VERY niche games, COD 1&2 and COD:MW 1&2. 

Lol, so is this really how you're going to play it?  Pretend you don't know who made Titanfall, so you can act like Bungie is SO much bigger and more important than IW, so this isn't a victory?  Even though COD is WAY bigger than Halo?

I was a little tipsy last night.  Calm down there, little buck-a-roo.  I couldnt remember Ready At Dawn's name.  Sorry.

But on that note, ever hear of Mistwalker?  Made of ex Final Fantasy guys.  Didn't achieve Final Fantasy level success.  Same thing from my point of view.  

But on that note, ever hear of Mistwalker

before Titanfall released it would have been crazy to suggest on here that Destiny would outsell TF on just the PS4. XB1 fans are now trying to rewrite history. TF had more hype for the XB1 than Destiny had for the XB1. The reason Destiny was more hyped overall was the fact it was a full console multiplat.

Again had I come on here back in early March and said "Destiny PS4 would outsell TF XB1 LTD in week 1" most of you would have shit down my neck.


well the consoles were like 5 to 3 with people still having hope that titan fall would bring the xb1 to parity in consoles sold.

 

had people known by the time destiny released ps4 would have sold over twice as many consoles, then I doubt anyone would assume ps4's destiny wouldn't outsell it.

The hype behind Destiny was leagues higher than Titanfall's. And also the userbase is the half for Xbox.

So what's the point?

I think you need to lie down and finish sleeping off that hangover.  It's Respawn.  Ready At Dawn works for Sony.

Was Mistwalker made up of 40 FF guys, including top guys?  Regardless, that didn't stop Xbox fans from hyping the crap out of that game, quite a bit of it due to being made by the makers of MW 1&2.

Titanfall hype was bigger in my opinion... the second coming.

About the the comparison I said a better one is Destiny vs Titanfall on Xbone... Destiny looks that will sell more even without free bundles.
