What I mean is, do you think that a good amount of the people buying this game will go back multiple times and do all the side stuff, or do you think they will complete the main part then be like, "That's it??" then sell it/trade it in/don't touch it again.
I mean, maybe I'm totally wrong, but I just see a lot of people getting a bit mad/confused(?)

Someone earlier in the thread said a few people were complaining about the game on HDUK. I do find it very odd that people would spend money without a cursory search though. Hell, I'm browsing shops with my phone out making sure that what I'm buying will be right for me.
Think it might have been better for the image of the game if you had to do the side ops first and then reference the fact that Big Boss has been to that base several times before prior to the Ground Zeroes operation. Eh, it's fun enough for me, but I do hope that there weren't too many confused consumers out there and they were happy with it.
Going to 100% it ASAP so I can get a decent return on it though. Would only have lost £3 if I traded it in now, but I'm still having a lot of fun with it.
Sony hasgot this year on lock down, they getting exclusive marketing to the biggest games of the year with watch dogs, destiny, assassins creed, and the new batman.

Usually when people post something like this they provide 'correct' information to show what is 'false' and why.
Great sales for Infamous and MGS Ground Zeroes.
Huge drop for Titanfall. The game is clearly falling short of the internal targets of both EA and Microsoft with the former expecting to have a new COD in the their hands, the latter this viral system seller which would turn the fortunes of their console.

Any reason why or just because you don't think so?

Yup, and herein lies the problem with TF being a system seller. I'm not one of those people that believes a single game can be a system seller, but clearly someone in the Xbox division does and spent a boatload of cash on securing exclusivity for their platforms for this game. However, TF does not have any of the traditional game modes that sell systems to people. The scenarios you outlined are what sells games and systems to people, playing in the same room together is something that console gaming excells at, and TF gives people no opportunity to playthe experience together since it lacks online co-op or a story mode people can play through together in stages.
The game itself might be excellent, I have not had a lengthy time playing it since I don't have a Bone a d I'm still boycotting Origin. That, however, is not relevant because it doesn't bring people together like other system selling franchises like Wii Sports or Halo's co-op mode.

Look his history posts! he can't give correct information.
I think he means the TF numbers.
All we know is that it did better than FW 2014 Fifa 14, so it could be higher than 114k.

Oh fuck, lol! Good catch.
They are a long way off, so the install base for the X1 will be much larger at that point. The percentage could be very one sided but then they could still sell an extra million or two on the X1 by that point.

Sure it does. Your only looking at the UK market. They will do okay overall sales on XB1.
Yup and looking at that thread and how the numbers were calculated, I think we can just say they had pretty damn close debuts
The Last of Us disproves the theory anyway in terms of the legs it had.
True.

Truth is percentage wise FF and KH going to favor PS system even more than last gen .
MS going to do worse in EU , Japan is lost cause for them and NA they might be even so numbers wise i don't expect them to even make up 20% for those game .

Final Fantasy splits will be fine. FF13 trilogy was also on Xbox plus the fact that FFXV just like every mainline Final Fantasy is not an actual sequel.
Kingdom Hearts is my personal biggest question mark. HD Remasters being PS3 exclusive make no sense when they want to sell KH3 on the XB1. Who the hell is gonna jump in on the series with Kingdom Hearts 3 on XB1? The reasoning behind KH is probably based on the fact that KH's strongest territory is America where Xbox is (or was we will have to wait about that a little longer) the biggest player.

I dunno about that.
They tried getting the series to take off on Xbox with XIII and exclusive marketing with Microsoft. Even with that it outsold the 360 version roughly 5:1 on PS3 WW.
In NA I recall around something like 900k PS3 and 400k 360 launch month despite the 360 install base being substantially higher and in the UK it was 50:50. Both series are still are still heavily tied with PlayStation.
No XHD or KH HD games on 360 and now you have the PS4 dominating in the only two markets in which Xbox had control. If anything the platform ratio split will only increase if things remain as they are.
Source?

Assassins creed and Batman too? Damn. I wonder why MS is sitting still and letting these games get recognized as PS4 games. CoD is a franchise in decline and no matter how much they show off Xbox Fifa, it's a Euro game, and Europe already decided what console to get.
I think he's basing it on this, but XBO sales only account for 94% so 116k minimum.

The hype for Destiny is unbelievable
A lot of people are getting the PS4 version of the game believing that it is the safest bet with the beta access and the whole res fiasco
Multiplats are that extra comfort that the PS4 can relay on
WD, AC, Batman are likely also going to lead on the PS4
That's XB1+PC though.
Yeah i edited it in, sorry.

If you base Titanfall on a minimum of 124k then ISS is at 62kminimum.
Not sure what the UK figures are for PS4 sales so maybe if someone can get that we can better examine it, as ISS sales are 1/9th of that,
No HW data that I´m aware of, but the 62k min should be comparable to I1 and I2, right?
Hmm...
TF: 125k+ first week, 94% XB1 = 117k
-73% second week = 32k
That would mean 600k XB1 in the UK?
Was at 364k LTD at the end of 2013. Seems like a huge number.
The PS4 was at 530k. IF inFAMOUS sold 62k tops, that means 560k.
Something doesn't add up.
Maybe inFAMOUS week 1 sold half of TF week 1+2. That would make more sense.
Well, the 125k+ could also mean a lot more than that. We don´t really have an upper ceiling, right?
Oh, and they explicitly state, that its TF first week only.

The key word about the Titanfall doubles inFAMOUS is that it is only about one retail... "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"
I'm assuming the 1 in 4 and 1 in 9 is related purely to first week sales only so maybe 462k XBO and 560k PS4
edit - or maybe this guys i right
But we know TF XB1 >117k.

You need to add 2014 numbers... I don't have them....
Eg. if Xbone sold 100k more units in 2014... that's means ~116k Titanfall sold using the 4:1.
I guess PS4 is close to 700k LTD and Xbone close to 500k LTD in UK.

I too wonder why people don't do research, I'm always on my phone in the store, seeing if I can get something at a cheaper price elsewhere, checking the reviews for this game I've never heard of, ect. Unfortunately, working at Target, I see people buy stuff on a whim very often, especially for things that have that "big name" or recognition. My friend bought a PS4 and has stated multiple times that he regrets it and only bought it because it was hyped up and everyone he talked to said to get it...he only plays NBA on it, complains all the other games suck. Wouldn't even download some of the free games on PS+ because they "look/sound boring". Boggles the mind, lol.
I imagine stuff like that happens with titles like MGS:GZ. People recognize the name, see it at a cheap price, on the new shiny system they just bought, and want something new to play. They buy it, beat the main mission super quick, then are like, "this is it????". Game disgarded, never to be played again, might even turn them off of a sale of Phantom Pain if they just assume that game will be the same thing.
Does it get better from where I am?I'm not hooked on the story missions yet.
Wouldn´t it make more sense, if we do it the other way around?
- If the 1:4 quote means week1 one only, we´d look at >117k TF XB1, so >468k XB1 sold
- If the 1:4 quote means TF XB1 LTD, we´d look at >149k TF XB1, so >596k XB1 sold
- If we accept 117k TF XB1 first week, we´d look at ~60k ISS PS4
- If we extrapolate that with the 1:9 ratio, we end up at ~540k PS4
As we know no upper ceiling for TF XB1 first week, its hard to get closer to the truth. But I think if XB1 has outsold PS4 in the UK, we´d heard. So we can at least take, that the 1:4 ratio means week1 only for TF XB1.

I half expected Ground Zeroes to be number one across four formats this week but a higher % than usual must have downloaded it even though it can't be traded back.
Promising that GZ did such a high % on PS4 despite attention split with Second Son as well.

Saint Titanfall
But that doesn't make any sense when talking about country wide sales. It makes the whole statement pointless when included in the article and misleading to boot unless the insider had nationwide sales figures.

This saddens me.
Titanfall drop doesn't seem unusually high in relation to past games of the type. Will have to wait until next week to start discussing the legs of the title
I suppose if the bundled copies in XB1 TF bundles get counted it might be a bit unusual a drop as the majority of XB1 hardware is most certainly going to be that SKU with TF in the bundle?
Wonder if Infamous will have a bigger drop
Well, either way, both informations don't add up at all. There's no way the PS4 sold 30k in 2014, while the XB1 almost doubled its 2013 sales.
