No that was software. it was actually 1.5.
I doubt I don't think that's still the case but with the supply constraints I don't know.
Certainly the demand is far greater than that.
Titanfall boosts Xbox One UK sales by 96%, Tea and Crumpets for all!

Ninja Gaiden is 360 exclusive. PS3 has Ninja Gaiden Sigma. It's even easier with a multiplayer only shooter to just pack all the content of a previous game into a sequel. EA may be greedy but they're not dumb. They'll get out of MS exclusivity deal as soon as it'll be to their benefit. There are a lot of ways to do this, especially considering that EA doesn't own TF IP.

Revealed sure. This is EA we're talking about though. I wouldn't be suprised if they went behind Respawn's back well before they knew it.

The way I see it any product that experienced an increase in sales during the release of Titanfall owes it to Titanfall.
It's like a Reagan tax cut.

I'm sure they are fine with it. They established their brand new IP as a competitor with these "big FPS titans". Plus, they pretty much a guaranteed a better success with TF2 for all the dudes that are complaining about it being on another system. Half of these PS4 people will more than likely pick up TF2 if it is released on PS4.
Now had the game come out and been deemed a not very good game (low scores, bad impressions, etc.) then yes, the exclusivity would have hurt the brand in a big way. The fact that people who can't play it are mad that they can't is a good thing for this branding.

It's a joke although that rise in PS4 sales is correct
xbox sales were up 96% but ps4 sales also went up 72% the same week (titanfall launch week ... ) thread title is a joke saying lol titanfall caused ps4 sales increase also.

People saw Titanfall, and bought a PS4 to help their eyes recover from all the ugly.
Not MS PR.
I didn't think the 96% figure came from Microsoft

I am hopeful by the end of march both Sony and MS will update us on WW sales numbers so we can get a feeling as to where everyone sits.
I doubt we will though. Likely one will announce and the other won''t
I never claimed no one is saying it's a little bump, or that it might not mean anything at all without more context. hell, I'm in that group myself. But please go ahead and quote if you'd like to.
However, what you said is quite different, and I'm gonna quote you again:
These statements seem rather... selective at best.
Right. Because I said it would be the be all end all game this year.
Project much? But hey, if that's how you feel cool.

Or maybe people are being realistic considering we have no actual numbers. That increase for 1000 units is nothing but that increase on 50000 units is actual news. Other consoles have seen much higher increases than this has as pointed out by others in this thread.

Lol, you're welcome.
I just think there is alot more negativity towards MS on Gaf. Whether or not you see it or not but I do. Which says something when you're a PS4 owner.

It's not just you, meant as a joke. But the real joke is if someone interprets that it boosted X1 UK sales 72% over PS4 sales, or an even bigger joke if it actually happens.
Of course it won't

Let's hope Infamous can do for xbone sales what Titanfall apparently has for ps4 sales /sigh

You're correct the title is strange. Hopefully the mod will be along to explain why it reads as it does.
Well Aaron Greenberg did tweet it though.

Will be interesting to see if Infamous can become the biggest selling launch just after Titanfall, bigger installed base and an established franchise, I'd be surprised if it can't.

of course Titanfall is a system seller right now...there is nothing else new to play so people go and buy TF...
Ah, Rainier Wolfcastle... took you long enough to find your way into this thread. I'm amazed at the amount of people who are confused by the title change. Maybe it is, in fact, too good a thread title.
-We don't know if Titanfall sold less, more or exactly as much as EA/Microsoft/Respawn expected.
-We don't know how much Microsoft paid for the deal.
-We don't know how many potential playstation sales would be needed to make up for the ammount saved by EA in marketing due to Microsoft's push.
Holy assumption overdrive, batman!

I think the point is to cut through Microsoft's BS pr speak. Sure, Xbox One sales nearly doubled, but Ps4 also had a big jump percentage wise over the week before. It is saying that Titanfall's bump all things considered isn't that huge, especially without citing an actual sales figure.
Honestly. It's probably for yours and everyone's best interest if you just left him alone.
