Still no specific numbers though.

In a conversation with EA chief operating officer Peter Moore, we learned some new details about Titanfall's performance. Unfortunately, the number of copies sold wasn't one of them.

Titanfall has been incredibly strong on Xbox One according to Moore. "Sales are always going to be inhibited and governed by the install base, but [Titanfall] is attaching incredibly well," he says. "Titanfall is the best selling title on Xbox One lifetime to date."

[PhatSaqs]

Not surprising.

 

[xxracerxx]

I wonder if they would classify the sales as 'vibrant'

 

[Squalor]

That's not surprising.

It's a fun game and the system's biggest exclusive to date.

 

[shwimpy]

'Cause of bundles.

Destiny will probably do the same for PS4.

 

[Jarrod38]

Would have to say at least 2 million.

 

[Toki767]

That's nice. Actual numbers would be even nicer.

 

[bluelightningduo]

Shocking.

 

[liquidtmd]

 

[Mortemis]

Good for respawn.

 

[Orthogonal]

Seems plausible, but wow, Ghosts was doing very well and even had holiday a sales.

 

[Marvel]

Congratulations to Respawn.

 

[Krakle]

Not surprising.

.

 

[Netherscourge]

I'm curious to know how it's selling on the Xbox 360 and PC vs. the Xbox One.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Really wish they'd give up the numbers. I'm sure it's sold well, so what's the issue with giving the numbers?

 

[xxracerxx]

'Cause of bundles.

Destiny will probably do the same for PS4.

Nah....PS4 sales are too high for the bundled Destiny packs to make it the most sold title on the system.

 

[Confidence Man]

I wonder if they would classify the sales as 'vibrant'

You might say sales are colorful.

 

[Skilletor]

I dunno, that's kind of surprising. I'd expect CoD to outsell it.

 

[Kelsey]

'Cause of bundles.

Destiny will probably do the same for PS4.

The unbundled version is the best selling game on Amazon.com for 2014. Not bad.

 

[Aquamarine]

Still no specific numbers though.

EA is probably combining NPD + GfK for this data.

I don't see any other way that they would have metrics for other, non-EA titles.

 

[lem0n]

I wish it was a more interesting game, seems like a good staple for the One. I played it on PC though, wasn't my thing.

 

[Quote]

I'd hope so. I hope it's flying off the shelves.

 

[Syf]

As expected. I'd like to actually know the numbers though.

 

[ethomaz]

Sales are always going to be inhibited and governed by the install base

Seems like they wish a better install base

 

[Miles X]

Really wish they'd give up the numbers. I'm sure it's sold well, so what's the issue with giving the numbers?

Probably waiting for an overall respectable figure.

Perhaps 5m? Might take a while to get there tho ...

Seems like they wish a better install base

No shit.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Good for them. Not surprising considering that Titanfall falls in the genre that appeals to the Xbox community the most.

 

[Busty]

Makes sense.

Though the Xbone is basically seen as the 'HALO box' I really can't see the HALO 1-4 collection, or anything else this year, taking Titanfall's sales age crown just yet.

While the likes of Advanced Warfare will be a huge seller I think Titanfall just came to the market at the right time with the right amount of buzz and hype.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

And we still have no numbers. C'mon ea and ms!

 

[Squalor]

Probably waiting for an overall respectable figure.

Perhaps 5m? Might take a while to get there tho ...

5 million what? Combined (both Xboxes)?

There is a 0% chance the game sold 5 million on just the Xbox One.

 

[Gorillaz]

Yea I want them numbers tho but this good for the Respawn team.

 

[Goodacre0081]

Seems like they wish a better install base

well, look at all the 360 users who are still happy with their console.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Probably waiting for an overall respectable figure.

Perhaps 5m? Might take a while to get there tho ...

I guess that's a potential reason. Seems silly though, why not mark certain milestones like 1m/2m sold, etc.

Makes even less sense with this being a new IP not to announce milestones.

 

[bequietdrive]

Would have to say at least 2 million.

Considering Mario Kart 8 did over half that on its opening weekend, you'd hope Titanfall being out for 4 months would have done over two million.

 

[Guevara]

No numbers continues to make me think sales were somewhat low.

 

[open_mouth_]

The only place where you can play Titanfall, COD, and Kinect Sports Rivals. You can't say that about any other platform. That's why this game, like the Xbox All in One Entertainment System before it, is literally flying off the shelves and into the hearts and minds of gamers.

 

[Aquamarine]

Really wish they'd give up the numbers. I'm sure it's sold well, so what's the issue with giving the numbers?

"Best selling title" resonates more with EA investors than "Sold 2 million units," or whatever the worldwide number is.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

When you're bundling it with the console, of course it's going to be the best seller.

I'd love to hear its sales vs. the 360 version though.

 

[GYNGA]

Do we have numbers for Xbone version of COD Ghosts? That would give an idea of how much TF has sold

 

[Gestault]

I have to disagree with people saying "not surprising." Titles like Call of Duty and Battlefield sold very well relative to everything else on current-gen platforms. If Titanfall did outsell both those franchises in a fraction of the time, I'm impressed.

 

[Miles X]

5 million what? Combined (both Xboxes)?

There is a 0% chance the game sold 5 million on just the Xbox One.

Everything, 360, XB1 and PC. I agree, I doubt it can reach 5 mill lifetime, maybe 4m (as launch titles can do well, I'm pointing at you Resistance: Fall of Man)

 

[gamechanger87]

No numbers continues to make me think sales were somewhat low.

I wouldn't be surprised if its north of 2M. Dead Rising 3 sold 1M by mid-January.

 

[Woo-Fu]

I have to disagree with people saying "not surprising." Titles like Call of Duty and Battlefield sold very well relative to everything else on current-gen platforms. If Titanfall did outsell both those franchises in a fraction of the time, I'm impressed.

I think the key difference is that Titanfall was positioned as a game that should appeal to both the CoD and BF camps while also selling fine to the people who are sick of CoD/BF.

No baggage, great marketing, platform starved for exclusives. Call it a perfect storm.

 

[Unstable]

Awesome news. Respawn made a great game.

 

[backflip10019]

Makes sense.

Though the Xbone is basically seen as the 'HALO box' I really can't see the HALO 1-4 collection, or anything else this year, taking Titanfall's sales age crown just yet.

While the likes of Advanced Warfare will be a huge seller I think Titanfall just came to the market at the right time with the right amount of buzz and hype.

I beg to differ. I bet the Master Chief Collection will sell like hotcakes.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

I think the not surprising sentiment is from the game being a pack-in that doesn't cost extra if you buy the kinect version of the console.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

"Best selling title" resonates more with EA investors than "Sold 2 million units," or whatever the worldwide number is.

Good point, but wouldn't the investors still want numbers? I can't believe investors would be happy with that claim and not want some figures to make sense of it.

 

[statham]

Congrats Respawn!

I beg to differ. I bet the Master Chief Collection will sell like hotcakes.

Totally agree, the collection is going to do huge numbers.

 

[ComputerMKII]

More than Call of Duty?

 

[InFamousRaiden]

hmm I thought Activision said it was COD .... ? ....

 

[licktheenvelope]

I wonder if they would classify the sales as 'vibrant'

I googled Vibrant Sales and got this:
