USA Pre-Order Chart 03/08/2014

Latest pre-order chart for the week ending March 8, 2014.

[alb1899]

TITANFALL is getting some deserve attention .

[nicksetzer1]

Crazy part is I don't know anyone who preordered it, most just picked it up today, no need to preorder. So, actual sale number must be crazy.

[Galletto3]

Yea a lot of people are going digital for Titanfall (testing the waters for digtital as it were)so they didn't need to put down pre-orders.

[ABizzel1]

Good pre-order numbers, 1:9 attach ratio on pre-orders alone. Could be the first Week 1 million seller of the generation, and it should be the best week 1 for an XBO game with (COD 500k sales week 1).

Technically speaking COD PS4 is in the lead with over 700k units at launch (including EU launch which was 2 weeks later).

[Elit3Nick]

There is no preorder incentive so it's better to just pick it up or download it

[k3rn3ll]

One reason to preorder this is the digital dload wont start till midnight pacific so if ur on the east coast u have to wait till 3am. At least that's what I've been told

[combatcash]

I know a few people that have it pre ordered and some that are buying the bundle so it appears that it's going to help them move systems.

[Ashby_JC]

I have never pre ordered a game. There are so many places to buy games I can't see major releases selling out.

I actually went ahead and downloaded titanfall. (First digital purchase on Xbox one)

[SilentNegotiator]

If you think that COD with a twist deserves a lot of attention.

But then that's a matter of opinion, I suppose.

[nicksetzer1]

It is, and A LOT of people won't buy it due to that. (It being an fps that is, cod with a twist is a bit understated) but most xbox gamers are multiplayer mainly gamers, as i would say most ps gamers are sp geared. Neither better than the other.

[Gunstar75]

You obviously haven't played it.

[supes_24]

@silentnegotiatir,
I agree. I logged on to twitch.tv this morning to check it out and I kept comparing it to COD and BF. Although it is a different version, so to speak, but really similar to the two.

[SilentNegotiator]

@Gunstar75

People running around for the one-hit melee kills so that they get rewards that further tip the balance in their favor (faster titan fall)...yep, nothing like COD at all. /s

[diehardmetallicafan]

there are a lot of fools in the world

[Bigpappy]

Never mind COD is the number one game sold on ps3 and probably ps4 also

[SilentNegotiator]

@Bigpappy

It's the people that constantly dump on COD that are praising Titanfall when it isn't that different from it. That's the issue. COD is one of or the top seller on PS3, X360, PS4, Xbone.

[k3rn3ll]

Be silent when grown folk are talking blindness! :)

[rainslacker]

COD always gets a lot of attention, so if it is like, or is somewhat like COD, I can see it selling well. By attention I assume you mean sales of course.

[TooHigh2Die]

IMO if TitanFall was multiplatform It would sell more on PS4. Look at the list other games like Destiny and WatchDogs are further ahead than the Xbone versions.

Xbone finally has their good exclusive while PS4's comes out next Friday. But this time next year Titanfall will be a afterthought with games like Uncharted and hopefully LOU 2 will make the Xboners cringe with envy.

[BX81]

Grow up and enjoy gaming. All you're doing is buying the damn thing, it's not like you used any creativity in this process. You're blind loyalty is exactly what MS/Sony look for in their sheep.

[k3rn3ll]

First off ur mad if ur hoping for TLOU2 BY next year.

Second Titanfall outsold infamous in preorders showing a higher attach rate for march exclusive on xbox. So it might not be entirely accurate to say it would sell more on ps4 then xbox. Xbox has always had a higher multiplayer community when it comes to fps

[TooHigh2Die]

I wasnt stating LOU 2 would be released next year just an announcement for the game, and BX81 I had a wii,360,PC, and PS3 I just thought PS3 was the best overall.

Xbox may have had a higher FPS community last gen but clearly this gen with higher sales for Bf4 and COD PS4 has taken over in that regard.

[cozomel]

@kernell

Get your facts right, Titanfall didnt outsell infamous in preorders. Infamous has over 600,000 preorders, whereas Titanfall has 385,000.

http://insiderp.com/infamou...

Fan kids

[tiremfej]

@cozomel, are you being serious? You are actually using info from that site as news? Wow.

[lemoncake]

Good luck getting two good games from one developer in the same year

[cozomel]

@tiremfej
Yes, im serious, and where are you getting your info from? oh yeah thats right, vgchartz, a bastion of accuracy.

[Fz6soldier]

LOL, 360 version and PC version are 16 and 17 on the list. what does that tell you? X1 owners are starved for this game. There are far more 360s and PCs out there than X1s. Destiny doesn't even have a date and it's killing the titanfall version on 360 and PC.

[Wizard_King]

PC gamers already have to much to play to worry about sub par hype fueled COD clones.

[Ch1d0r1]

If it doesn't sell good it will show us how powerful those 3 little letters are with the younger crowd. (COD)

Best wishes to Dark Souls 2, hope it sells 1-2 million lifetime. Love that series.

[Fz6soldier]

how do you disagree with facts? must be butt hurt fanboys.

[ChrisW]

@alb1899,

Those 80+ disagrees is just the simple-minded baaing you often hear on N4G.

[HammerKong]

thing is that people are not believeing it here,i tell them why they are sad,first is titanfall is having more preorders on xbox one tha on any other platform and yeah titanafall on xbox one is having more preorders than infamous ss on ps4,the simple reason is titanfall is having more anticipation than infamous ss,no body care about what ps4 fanboys anticipate more,not saying i'am not anticipating infamos but titanfall is an fps and is not an cod with mecks.

[TGF_Zero]

PS fanboys are tight, hahaha look at all those disagrees lol

[MrDreadnought]

*deserved

[Alsybub]

I would imagine those agrees and disagrees would be switched if it was on a certain other system. ;)

[Team_Litt]

DAT TitanFall! Less consoles sold, most pre-ordered software. I call highest selling next gen game on single platform by end of March. Yup, that confident!

[Christopher]

Would have to beat the almost 2m sold of CoD:Ghosts on PS4 for that... I'm not seeing that at all by the end of March.

[Team_Litt]

I thought killzone had more than 2 million sold and that is what I was aiming for.

[Christopher]

Not likely to do that, Team_Litt. Even KZ:SF took a few months to get to 2m+ sold. CoD Ghosts still has the most sold on both platforms, though.

[Team_Litt]

I'm gonna stick to my guns on this one, CoD, Killzone or otherwise. 2.2 million by end of March.
Also, can we have some moderating up in here cgoodno?

[MysticStrummer]

Still waiting on the predicted big bump in XB1 sales due to TF. The attach rate seems to be mostly people who already have the console. For the week of March 1st PS4 still more than doubled XB1 sales, despite PS4 dropping 64% from the previous week and XB1 gaining 19%.

But, these numbers are simply estimates from more than a week ago so we'll see.

Edit - @disagrees - Ok, you win. The numbers are rock solid and XB1 is doomed… doomed I say… DOOMED!

; )

[mhunterjr]

Well the tf bundle didn't hit store shelves until today, and preorders wouldn't have shown up in last weeks report. The announcement of the bundle would have held some people back from buying the console last week, unless they were getting an in-store bundle of equal value.

We won't have an accurate picture until next week...

[SG1_dapunisherX]

You deserve those disagree. Wtf you talking about lol we get it you hate xbox doesn't mean you have to troll. Man lie, Women lie, TF number don't

[MysticStrummer]

"We won't have an accurate picture until next week…"

Agreed. Next week and the next few weeks.

"Man lie, Women lie, TF number don't"

You missed my point. TF numbers are only part of the equation. If TF's numbers are high, but PS4 can more than double XB1 sales despite a 64% drop vs a 19% gain for XB1, that means the attach rate is mostly people who already have an XB1.

You also missed the part where I said the numbers were estimates of how the market was over a week ago. If you think what I said constitutes hate then I don't really know what to tell ya except calm down.

[D-riders]

yeah call of duty and metal gear is 30 bucks

[Ra3030]

@Team_Litt
Let's see if it can out sell Knack. Let's not get allllll it'll sell more than Call of Duty cause that's just kooky talk. Plus CoD has sold right around 2 million on the PS4 and we don't know for sure that the X1 cable box has sold more than 2.2 million. VGChartz may have a higher number but Microsoft will only confirm the shipped number. Soooo there's that.

[Fz6soldier]

Infamous will quickly jump ahead. look and TF Pc and 360 sales. it's flipping like a fish.

[SilentNegotiator]

"Less consoles sold, most pre-ordered software"

Uhhh, easy to be the most pre-ordered when all of the other big games aren't a week before launch. Look at how many of the preorders are from just the last two weeks.

[Geobros]

Mario Kart 8 is doing well for a Wii U game but...I was waiting more.

[Metallox]

Pre-orders were "sold out" on Amazon USA as well. Mario Kart 8's case it's wierd.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

I think that's just a weekly rate, though.
The total preorders for the game are going to be pretty large in the end, I'm sure.

[mhunterjr]

Wow, the titanfall attach rate is going to be extremely high.

[DivineAssault]

TF is the main game XB1 has to offer.. Virtually every owner should be getting it.. Not my type of game but kudos for the success.. Ill be playing Dark Souls on PS3.. Then FF X HD, then MGS GZ, & Infamous on PS4

[Docknoss]

"TF is the main game XB1 has to offer." This Automatically makes anything you say invalid and ignorant.

[Applejack]

How so? I would say most Xbox One gamers would agree that Titanfall is the main game for the system so far. Not the only game but the main one.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

no it doesnt. it makes a lot of sense. its BY FAR the most hyped up game on the system. its only natural to assume its the MAIN game the system is currently offering people.

[Major_Glitch]

@Docknoss TF IS the main XB1 has to offer. If not then what else?

[tiremfej]

I'm not buying it. I tried the beta. It just isn't my kind of game, maybe I missed what the point was, but I prefer BF4 much more.

[beebap]

Exactly what i will be playing too.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Destiny on PS4 has been kicking ass for a long time on these charts. Its really impressive for a game that doesn't come out until September. And I can't wait until MGS5 Ground Zeroes and InFamous next week.

[blackmanone]

How is this comment in any way disagreeable? Destiny pre orders have been killing it for awhile now and the game is no where near release. He's not saying titanfall won't be big, guys, just that Destiny is going to be bigger. Judging by its numbers week after week, how can anyone refute that?

[lemoncake]

Ps4 owners are desperate for a good game, x1 has had quite a few over last few weeks. PvsZ, project spark beta, titanfall, keep it coming microsoft! Glad I got all 3 consoles.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

NO love for TF in here man. The sales speak for themselves not the internet mob.

[Qrphe]

*sales

And yeah, Titanfall is gonna be a hit whether N4G likes it or not

[SilentNegotiator]

Just like COD. Great games, no matter what the "internet mob" says, right?

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Umm yeah. Just because we don't like COD doesn't mean others don't.

The thing sales great every year despite what we think here.

TF is actually fun and new.

[MRMagoo123]

The thing *sells great every year.

[tiremfej]

The masses like COD, obviously. It sets records every year. I think it's fair to say we're all way above and beyond the "normal masses" of gaming culture.

Anyone who is posting on here is not normal. We all have a serious video game addiction. Be it PS, Xbox, Nintendo, PC, or whatever else I'm missing. We have a deep passion for gaming and games in general. COD is not for 98% of us on here.

[T2]

I'm sure titanfall will do great but doesn't stop me from another day , another wtf story quality and like this site? NO for vgchartz, the most fairytale website in history....

...nothing against titanfall though.

[djplonker]

Pc preorders didn't even hit 80k it just goes to show that when you have plenty of other great games to play that titanfall isn't that big a deal (on pc)!

[HappyWithOneBubble]

True but I think they're disc preorders not digital. Most PC gamers download it from Origin I guess. But yeah I think PC gamers won't be into it like XB1 gamers and I won't be surprise it get pirated a lot.

[mhunterjr]

Most PC users will be buying it on origin... You don't preorder a digital release.

[MRMagoo123]

Don't you ? I have pre ordered the digital release of the next wow xpac

[mhunterjr]

@MRmagoo123

It isn't tracked...

[kewlkat007]

Who still pre-orders games in the US? Why

I'm all digital and I would like to pre-download the day before, that's about it. When will that be possible on theONE?

[IG-88]

Some games have pre-order bonuses such as the game I pre-ordered Dark Souls II came with the soundtrack and and metal case. I did not care about the case but I wanted the soundtrack to the game.

As far as pre-downloading games on the Xbox One I have now idea when that will happen but you would think that it would be high on the list if they want to move to a more digital gaming environment.

[YodaCracker]

Titanfall dominating the charts!

[TristanPR77]

Look at the multiplatform games. Each PlayStation multiplatform version is crushing the xbox version. There is no single multiplatform game that the Xbox version is higher than the PlayStation version.

This clearly demonstrate that PlayStation is the leading console for multiplatform games this generation.

[oSHINSAo]

Xbox One 441,364
Xbox 360 90,968
PC 79,015
___________
Total 611,347

Lets wait for those bundles and night shopping

[aceitman]

bundles are not to be counted as sales the game is free , its not like the bundle was a special bundle where it cost 550$ then it can count . or is that how ms is going to reach high numbers by saying we sold 1.2 titan falls on x1 milion but 1/4 was given away for free. that will be bs. and pr bull all over again.

[Kiwi66]

so that theory of because its free could be applied to Knack as when ps4 released in japan people were going on about it being #1 game in numbers even though it was included with the ps4

[rainslacker]

Bundled software is counted towards final sales of the game, at least traditionally for the past 20 years it has been for every system ever released. I don't know if these particular pre-order numbers include the bundle though.

[aceitman]

Only if it comes with a physical copy only it counts , not digital.

[Alsybub]

That's strange logic.

Let's say the console is reduced by the value of the game and the customer is therefore paying for it.

Still doesn't count?

Nowhere does it explicitly say that the game is free. It's just included in the price, which is discounted.

[The_devils_chum]

I would get it digitally as well so that gamestop can give me 7 bucks for the cd 2 months from now and sell it for $55.99.

[Flames76]

Damn titanfall on the Xbox One just crushed everything

[No_Limit]

LOL, the disagrees means that the opposition is really mad that a XB1 game can be this successful. How could anyone disagrees when what you are saying is full of fact?

[Clunkyd]

yeah, Even Xbox Live. Which is down for me.
So much for cloud servers.

[Tedakin]

And that's US only, doesn't include people who walk in and buy it, digitally download, or bought the bundle. Day 1 sales should hopefully be ridiculous.

[UsUcK]

Just downloaded mine and so excited.

[No_Limit]

Well deserved for Titanfall and XB1!!

[WeAreLegion]

Agreed, but why aren't you playing it?

[mysteryraz11]

noones buying it on the pc, cause noone cares titanfall sucks anyways I dont really care about it

[builtbymusic]

I'm not really into multi-player games. HATE COD games with a passion. however with this being desribed as an multi-player campaign i'm hoping it will play like brink did. i did enjoy that game. it was a lot more than just killing people.

[s1xt6en]

The crazy thing is look at The Order no one even knows when that game is coming out and has over 100k pre orders.

[Deltaguy]

Who else can't sign in right now???

[Tedakin]

I can't. Meh.

[amnalehu]

"I would have loved to see the PS4 Titanfall Pre-order numbers." Trolling? Really? How is wanting to see how a 3rd party game would have sold on a competing system trolling?

[Deltaguy]

Not trolling but it's sad that Sony missed out on yet another 3rd party IP cash cow..like Gears and Left for dead last gen...

[dodgefate]

Because Sony doesn't Pay off company's (millions of dollors) just for 1 game they pay out more little company's to try an make more gaming developers.

[rainslacker]

More sad for Respawn since they miss out on the visibility of this game to the rather large install base on the PS4. Apparently, according to many on here, PS owners are starved for games, so they would be more prone to pick up TF.

I understand money was involved, but for a game of this nature I can't see why EA would want to restrict it's sales as a new IP that has potential to match COD sales if it were multi-plat.

[Alsybub]

@rainslacker

I feel sorry for Bungie with Halo. They must have missed out big.

[JoseV76]

So you can say, "oh I told you so it would sell better on ps4" trolls will be trolls.

[amnalehu]

My curiosity lies in the fact that me as well as most of the PS4 owners I know are only mildly interested in titanfall. I don't own an XBone yet, but when I do finally get one I doubt that I ever get Titanfall. My guess it that it probably would be out selling the PS4 version per capita.

[worldwidegaming]

This generally starts off as a great read until someone throws an off topic underhanded comment which gets. Replied rather than marked as trolling someone throws me some scraps...

[sdplisken]

just picked up dark souls 2 whoohoooo!!!!

[AnEwGuY]

There just haven't been any good pre-order bonuses for next-gen, like there were for a lot of last gen. I don't get why anyone would bother pre-ordering a game that is going to be available in massive quantities, if there's no real incentive or reward. I pre-ordered dozens of games last gen, that were either heavily discounted, like when Newegg would do a $12 discount + free shpg. , or Amazon with the $10-$20 promo coupons.

[GenericNameHere]

Can't wait for MS to announce Titanfall sales tomorrow! Remember how they used to always publicly tout their sales? I remember Gears of War 3 selling like 2M in the first two days. If MS doesn't do that tomorrow, then I fear they must be panicking at the low sales.

Note: I'm not expecting Titanfall to sell 2M on Xbone in just 2 days. Just that if Titanfall is the system seller like MS has been highly hoping for, then they'd want to show it the sales as soon as possible.

[feraldrgn]

If they announce the sales as "Xbox family", then we'll know if it's been a hit for the Xbone or not.

[dekke]

http://www.gamerheadlines.c... booom

[Tedakin]

At one outlet. US pre-orders of Titanfall nearly double Infamous.

[dekke]

sure doubles for all platforms:P

[Azzanation]

All those fanboys I heard say I am getting Titanfall on PC because I am too lame to get a XB1, well this isn't proving your point. where's the PC sales... Or even the 360 Sales? XB1 seems like the place to play Titanfall.

Im surprised Dark Souls 2 isn't selling that well. Much deserved game. Everyone in here stop talking fanboy nonsense and buy DS2, I don't care what system just do it. I want a Dark Souls 3.

[Guwapo77]

I bought this on PC...I can't say the hype was warranted. Don't get me wrong either, it is a decent game.
