I would have told you the Playstation 4 has a larger install base and there's no reason that Infamous shouldn't outsell Titanfall on Xbox One when it has about 3 million more potential customers to sell too.
Especially with Titanfall being bundled and neither game having any competition around launch, so anyone who wanted to buy a "good" game for their new console would attach to both games.

It's boring after a few weeks in my opinion (TitanFall), I got the season pass and I regret not giving it to a friend or someone on here who loves the game.

I'm confused. So did Second Son outsell TitanFall or not? On one hand, it didn't chart. On the other, people are saying it sold better.
WUT?

I honestly don't know, Mario Kart doesn't come out until the end of May.
Infamous outsold Titanfall on the X1, but not Titanfall on the X360 and the X1 combined.
We need to know if PS4 at 200k is real. That wouldn't be that good, guys.
For 3DS: ...eh, One actually sold around what 3DS did in the last two Aprils. If it did the same this year, it'd be flat YOY. Unfortunately, I think it's lower than that. Around 85,000 - 90,000...100,000 if something strange happened.

"The NPD Group’s total US numbers are based on reports from around 60 percent of US retailers."
That quote from NPD mentioned USA physical retail being only 60% accurate for NPD.
He mentioned USA physical retail being only 60% accurate for NPD.
That's not true. It's 90-95% now.
And doesn't include those sold with hardware bundles.
Drop a Delson on it.

115k and InFamous outsold Titanfall, what in the fuck?
Infamous sold better than Titanfall on Xbox One. The reason why it charted is because it's also on 360 and PC.

Overall, it didn't, because Titanfall is on 3 platforms (X1, X360, PC).
But Infamous did apparently outsell the XB1 version of Titanfall.

I think it sold better than the Xbox One version, but the 360 version outsold inFAMOUS.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, honestly.If it did then Sony should provide some numbers instead of giving them to some random guy on Twitter. (I know he's trusted by some of you.)
Because honestly this seems like damage control to cover for the fact that ISS dropped completely off the map.
I have a feeling that I should post a time stamped pic of my copy of the game along with an image of me kissing my PS4 otherwise I'm going to be met with pitchforks and torches for making this statement.

I understand it as
Infamous > TF X1 for April
But overall, it's likely still behind. This means TF X1 collapses and inFamous had a better hold. I could see it having good legs.

115k,not as bad as i thought but that new sku was definitely needed. COD still strong i see and surprised infamous didn't chart again.
Guys looking at IGN, regarding Infamous falling off the charts, apparently if software sales were counted on a SKU basis-tabulated per console and not combined, InFAMOUS would chart along with stuff like Yoshi's New Island Adventure and MLB The show.
I doubt Infamous had a catastrophic fall in sales

They already do, just not to us, nor publicly. You can dig around if you want to see what they've said about their methodology.

Problem is, you wouldn't have told us 6 months ago that the PS4 will have a larger install base. You would have likely said the exact opposite...

they dont.
I very much expect that $399 to be soft: bundles, retail-specific promos, the whole works.

No, only the platform holders do for their own platforms, and they don't have any reason to turn all that information over to anyone.
Why people are still surprised by this simple fact is beyond me.

THIS THIS THIS ^.
Infamous was best selling game on next-gen platforms for April (PS4 and XB1).
It would be for April only since TitanFall XB1 outsold Infamous almost 2:1 in March.
Killzone Shadowfall has sold over three million copies worldwide and the MP is close to dead. People either want to play TDM in every mode in COD, or camp as a sniper in Battlefield. That's it. I think Bungie is being extremely smart in focusing on campaign and co-op for the Destiny marketing so far.

So, is ok that the PS4 dropped under 200k?
I can see June numbers (in July) being first time in months that X1 outsells the PS4. Consider the low sales it'll have in the May numbers (in June), those would be sales will shift to June, and the price drop will boost sales as well.
PS4 got TLOU planned for summer (nothing else major comes to mind), but not sure if it'll really be a systemseller. So I could see X1 taking June NPD.

The only reason the PS4 is selling so well is due to the PS3 being awful. Everyone who owned one is ditching it ASAP to buy the next gen Playstation. Once the PS3 owners have all migrated, the PS4 sales will fall off a cliff.
I've seen the data points that prove this.

What is the source for all this data, aside from yourself?
See, the reason I don't believe you is that I posed as the product buyer for a certain company for many, many years. (With his blessing.) I actually still get his mail. Because of my own personal experience I cannot believe you unless you provide a source that backs your numbers. Please do not take this personally. I want you to know that I have a professional interest in knowing the truth here, and that's why I keep asking question.
I also think your numbers are really high, and that you are assuming that only the big box stores matter and that they make up "%95" of the NA market, which they do not.
Thanks for your reply. This is why I come to GAF. To learn.
does this count the bundle sales???

Is there an NPD software chart that is not all-format? It would be interesting to see the sales differences on every platform, particularly if Infamous: Second Son did outsell Titanfall on the XBO.
Of course. MS has faultered and are below expectations no doubt. Dont forget to factor in price, a cheaper alternative, etc. IJS, lets not make it out to seem like the PS4 is blowing it out the water monthly like 360 was to PS3 in its first year. Not yet anyway lol.
Titanfall 360 >>> I:SS > Titanfall XB1

Why is it surprising that inFamous : SS outsold Titanfall?
