Titanfall was March's top-selling game in the UK

Titanfall was the UK's best-selling game in March, MCV reports, outselling big-hitters Infamous: Second Son and South Park: The Stick of Truth.

Nice! I'm glad to see Respawn's baby doing so well, if not because the game is great, than simply to rub it in Infinity Ward's face.

[OrangePowerz]

I think Infinity Ward will be just fine. MS didn't release any press release touting how many copies they sold so it won't be that much sales wise.

[UnbiasedOpinions]

@Orange, i think EA would be releasing the numbers, and they have investors to answer to so i doubt they have a choice, they have to reveal the numbers at some point and the reason they haven't yet is most likely they are waiting for the game to be fully released on ALL platforms first

[Neonridr]

if Titanfall didn't sell that many copies, then Infamous - which was only at #4 would have sold even less.

[Mr Pumblechook]

I definitely think Titanfall will have longer legs than inFamous. But things to note are that these figures include sales of the 360 version. Microsoft & EA did not give out sales figures of the Xbone edition in the UK.

[Lawboy2]

@ mr pumblestock

no they do not the 360 version didn't release until april..this is march

[OrangePowerz]

Given the importance of the game to MS they woupd have said something about how well it sold or how many players are online. I don't think they sold as much as they wanted.

How much EA cares about their investors is also questionable, they sabotaged the 360 sales by delaying the game and having zero marketing for it so MS can sell more X1 consoles.

@Neo

It would yes, but TF also had a week longer and was also released for PC and not only one platform.

[marlinfan10]

@unbiased.

investors don't worry about the sales of every single thing that releases for the company they're invested in. thats just not how it works. thats like saying the investors are worried about xbox sales. as long as the company comes out positive at the end of the quarter, the investors could care less what each product does sales wise

[Volkama]

"How much EA cares about their investors is also questionable"

No. No it really isn't.

[Sitdown]

Infinity Ward's face or Activision?

[UnbiasedOpinions]

Really great to see new IP's being successful, maybe other publishers will take more risks, lets hope Watch Dogs and Destiny share the same success, as the Triple A market seems to be going downhill

its also great to see the new consoles doing well, gaming is
coming out GUNZ BLAZING pew pew pew

Also if the success of Titanfall bothers you even a little bit, a successful brand new IP, then your not a true gamer
and your the problem with the industry, had to get that out

[mcstorm]

Don't know why you got some disagrees. As a gamer ive gotten bored of the Yoy games. I have a xbox one and a WiiU and I decided to get them as they had exclusives I wanted like Forza, KI, Mario Lands, DK, Pikmin ect as none of the current 3rd party games AC, COD, BF ect for me have just gotten old and its nice to see fresh IP's Like Titanfall come out and I am hoping this is the start of many new IP's this gen. For me another one im excited about is DriverClub and when this is out ill be picking up a PS4 to complete my next gen collection.

[B-radical]

Good for MS platforms

[pakua]

Can't believe that inFamous only ended up 4th. The game did come out rather late in the month (only a week later than Titanfall though) but didn't do as well as expected.

To be fair, the FPS genre is much bigger than any other on consoles so I guess it was to be expected. I didn't enjoy inFamous or Titanfall though, roll on better games.

[pornflakes]

Playstation owners dont buy as many games as xbox owners, thats true.

It would be better for Sony if their fans would be so aktive in buying games instead of beeing aktive in forums or n4g xD

[desertpunk86]

them brits sure got taste.

[patrik23]

do they count free copies with xbox one?

[Hicken]

Yes, they do.

[Gazondaily]

Got any proof of that?

[Lawboy2]

No matter what is reported titanfall isn't a success...because according to some user if Microsoft or ea doesn't release numbers than it must not have done well...me personally hope that Microsoft never releases numbers because all it does is give more ammunition to this stupid console war...sales, sales, sales or resolution, resolution, resolution....its ridiculous

also ppl forget that the bundles were digital codes not retail copies...this only tracks retail copies sold not digital http://www.videogamer.com/x...
from the article
"Trials Fusion is also coming to stores, but we anticipate a major share of its sales will be made digitally, hurting its chances of charting inside the Top 5."
"The Elder Scrolls Online is this week's major casualty, though, dropping from No.2 to No.19. Digital sales will be key for the MMO's ongoing success"

and the 360 version did not release until april so you cant count those...

but say whatever u need to say to discredit something, especially something you don't want or have, because that is what is cool now

congratulations respawn and I wish you continued success

[OrangePowerz]

Digital bundled games actually do count for the sales chart.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Of course a FPS that's was given away free with the console at a cheaper price outsold InFamous.

[phantomxll]

Titanfall Xbox bundle was a digital copy. They dont count digital sales. So shutup. You sound dumb and bitter.

[marlinfan10]

weren't all you sony fanboys saying infamous was gonna destroy titanfall in sales? this is in the uk too where ps4 is doing better than xbone.

[Predaking77]

I don't think anyone was saying that considering Titanfall was available on March longer than Infamous, all the price cuts and giving Titanfall for free plus it was available in other platforms.

But truth is Infamous topped Titanfall 2 weeks in a row, very good for a single player game in only 1 platform.

[Swiggins]

and your proof of this is....where exactly?

[patrik24]

every multiplat game in UK sells better on PS4 then on xbox one

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

[marlinfan10]

gotta make yourself feel better? of course you sony fanboys have to come and change the subject to make the ps4 look better in the article lol what a joke.

titanfalls been out longer than infamous yet its still doing better in weekly numbers. all I've heard is how the TF hype died out and the game wasn't that good yet its still doing better then your precious exclusive. i guess that says something about infamous then since you guys thought all that about TF

[gamertk421]

What else would they play?

[kenshiro100]

Stop this retarded myth that PlayStation fans don't play games. Seriously.

Good for Microsoft, I guess.

[Dark_matter]

they both had successful launches, that's what matters, they sold copies. I say congrats to both developers for making such awesome games. The titan didn't fall and the other didn't become unfamous

[kewlkat007]

Good for Microsoft and its partners..

[sypher]

Not surprised to be honest. If you go to GAME stores here in the UK you would think they only stock TitanFall the way it is advertised on every available space :p

[urwifeminder]

Ms and Respawn well done those UK gamers have some nice tastes.

[Predaking77]

Is good that after giving Titanfall for free on bundles and all the price cuts it sell fine. While Infamous was just a single player game it managed to top Titanfall 2 weeks in a row and that was good too.

Both games were good hits.

[TitanUp]

hyped shooter that released on 3 platforms good job respawn.

[ARESWARLORD]

Unless you work for and feed your family from money earned from Sony MS or Nintendo. Grow Up. Who cares if you have all three systems or just one, Play it. Play and let Play

[jimbobbeers]

So much hurt in here.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

Happy to hear how successful the game is.

[Bundi]

That TitanRise

[frankdrebin72]

i doubt titanfall 2 will be ps bound now,..those that got the 360 version,..they will upgrade to xbox one ,..and hence thats where the logic will lie.
microsoft will make sure of this,...and for those that think its a crap game,..cod with mechs etc,...dont worry..the next installment will be bigger,better and xbox bound..so it wont darken your door
i understand some will bubble about it ,..but the fact is a good game is a good game..fun.
