I honestly expected Infamous to outsell Titanfall. Its an established franchise. It has a higher resolution. Better graphics. More importantly you don't need online services to play. with 7 million Consoles sold there was an opportunity for 7 million people to pick up their biggest game of the spring. Only 1 out of 7 of those people got it.

Titanfall is a new online only game using that old source engine. running at a measly 792p With only about 4 million xbox ones sold we can assume that 1/4 of all the xbox one users either don't have gold or good enough connections to play this game and yet 1/4 xbox owners bout this. Likely 1/3 (accounting for the users that can play it).

for all you dummies this is all about fractions. But I'll tell you what? I don't know what they are going to do about the consoles. They won't go broke like Sega so its no big deal but maaaan. More so than worrying about what happens if Microsoft gets outsold I"m wondering what's going to happen with they continue to have better games and get outsold.

why would you expect that when infamous has never sold like that?...even though you call it 'the biggest game of the spring', it's not marketed/geared towards the majority like that, it's a niche game...

also, there have been more games sold on ps4 systems than xbox 1 systems, so why do you think xbox is winning the games war?...

Well you have to factor in those of us who got the Titan fall bundles. Infamous was sold for 60 dollars Titan fall was included in the bundle I got for 450.

Y'all really falling for this troll?? Infamous sold neck and neck with Titanfall and that's out on 3 platforms right now. Do y'all really want to put this into proper perspective or are you guys going to fall for the bait again? How's Infamous coming in 2nd place on the NPD's for a single exclusive in anyway bad compared to a game on 3 platforms?

Xbox 360 didn't come out last month so ah... check ya numbers. That's why I don't mess with NPD Titanfall xbox one had a bigger opening... But infamous had has outsold it almost every week its been out. Yet Still less with more.

So at the end of the day I guess Xbox one owners are more interested in Titanfall than ps4 owners are in Infamous.
