I think Titanfall 2 will sell more because the game is coming out on PS4.

freshslicepizza3236d ago

well of course, that goes wthout saying and the ps4 has double the install base as the xbox one. all third party games should come to as many platforms as possible.

krypt19833236d ago

Just because a device sells more does not mean the install base is bigger not saying it isn't just use coming sense alot of people bought a couple ps4, I own the Darth Vader and destiNY bundle ps4 but play my xb1 way more doesn't mean ps4 install base is bigger. On topic 7 million for a new iP is fantastic esp for the trend is set in fps. Call of Duty practically ripped off the movement system and will no doubt rip 2 off ..

IhateYouAll3236d ago (Edited 3234d ago )

The xbox has probably sold more than "half" of the PS4, to assume the xbox One has only sold 22m is just stupid.

Xbox will more than likely be past the 30m mark now but still not close to PS4.

OPEN topic: 7 million for titanfall is a fantastic figure for a new IP that was exclusive to xbox, well done respawn.

Shocking that people believe the xbox has only sold 20m.... People are shocking on here and incredibly ignorant.

Someone PM me giving me shit lmao😂 Smh.

Think I'll leave this site to the fucking magnets that infest it.

Kingthrash3603236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

Wasn't exclusive to xbox, it was on pc too.
So there's that.
Wait where are you getting your numbers? Xbox will be past the 30 mil mark by when? By the time titan fall releases?
Interesting. So you saying the Xbox s gunna boost them a few mil ...well only time will tell.

TheUndertaker853236d ago

Maybe but the first released on 360 as well which has double the install base of PS4. Titanfall 2 likely will not.

I have this game but lack the system to play it on. Unfortunately i can't say I contributed to that number of units sold as I got mine from GS in a 4 for $20 promo but soon I should be getting a system to play it.

rainslacker3236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

At least reasonably released numbers count, X1 has about 10X the install base it did when TF's prime selling period(3 months of release) ran out. So probably will do better there as well.

I doubt it... between Overwatch, the ripoff CoDs and Battlefield 1 (not to mention the slower pace and nerfing of cloud-based AI) , I don't see it selling more than 5mil before it hits EA Access - regardless of it's 'meaningful' campaign or multiplat status.

That said, I'll be getting it - I still play the original, which I consider the best FPS of the current-gen's 'pre-Overwatch' era... it just feels like the appeal has worn off since every second FPS became a jet-packing, wall-running knock-off.

Shubhendu_Singh3236d ago

Titanfall was a great game but we all know "how" it sold 7M units.
Because of extremely cheap sales just 4months after release.
They even gave out Season Passes for FREE.
And not to mention, they're including all unique players "sales" from EA Access program where Titanfall is kindof free.

It will be interesting to see how Titanfall 2 will do.
We KNOW it's a quality product, but because of competition like BF1, CODIW, CODMWR and GOW4...it will be tough to sell above 7M units.

JeffGUNZ3236d ago

What they really need to do is market the game by pointing out the developers are the ones who made COD mainstream. COD4MW was the one that launched this series to the moon. I think a lot of people who are getting tired of the COD yearly vibe could be swayed over to Titanfall if they knew who was behind it. I think Titanfalls is one of the best FPS I have played this generation. Destiny mastered their FPS elements, but the game has been handled terribly post release. It sounds like Titanfall 2 is much more massive then the original. Lets hope they listened to the short comings and really deliver a stellar experience.

Christopher3236d ago

Sure, but I think it will probably only do about 50% more, not some sort of astronomical number.

iceman063236d ago

I think EA is projecting 10-12 million. The low end being just about what you are predicting.

Utalkin2me3236d ago

It's funny, i got into ton of arguments people claiming they sold 10 million +. When all the while it was unique users, as i stated before.

@TheRavenCorb

It wasn't exclusive to xbox. It was also on the PC.

chuckyj13236d ago

I think it will sell more, because it will have single player story mode. Online only turns a lot of people off, and when they shut the server the game ceases to exist.
And Yes. of course.... the excuse you could say for every Console exclusive or 100% exclusive game.... making the game available to more platforms... will obviously push more sales..

LazyMinion3236d ago

Doesn't seem to bother Overwatch players much

Nice. Well done Respawn. I spend most of my time now on Halo 5 and Overwatch but I still play Titanfall from time to time. It's great fun and I hope Titanfall 2 turns out great..hopefully it will be a day one purchase for me.

donthate3236d ago

I loved Titanfall, but struggling to decide if I should get TF2. The game looks fantastic, but I don't think I will have time, and Gears 4 is releasing this year.

christocolus3236d ago

Tough choice. Which do you prefer, Gears or TF? If you have enough cash for both and gaming time is your only problem then get both. If you truly love both franchises then somehow you'll find time to play them eventually..

donthate3236d ago

Chris:

Well finance isn't a problem (I just spent $1000+ on a PC), but I'm not in the habit of spending excess because I can hence keeping me in the finance isn't a problem and hoping to retire as soon as possible category.

I haven't decided yet, but we will see. Waiting means lower prices, but I love that Respawn is giving away DLC maps. Gears 4 is certain, and TF2 is a huge probably. I'm skipping other games though due to time.

darksky3236d ago

The sales are total across 3 platforms including the xbox 360.

christocolus3236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

And so? that doesn't change anything. The fact is Titanfall sold well..so congratulations is in order.

@k2d

Come up with something better...Fact remains "Titanfall sold well"....so congratulations to Respawn

k2d3236d ago

This will go on deaf ears, but; even a flawed, overpriced disappointment of a game would sell if they were sold for free.

And you can bet your ass their counting Xbox bundles and free copies from Origin as "sales".

darksky3235d ago

I wonder if giving it for free with Games with Gold on the 360 is included as a sale everytime it was downloaded.

stuna13237d ago

So much for the reportedly bogus 10 million sales that certain individuals were swearing on their grandparent graves! Still great sales overall. Hopefully both camps can support TitanFall 2 with as little bickering as possible and truly enjoy the experience.

coolbeans3236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

That was quickly clarified as 10 mil "unique players/player accounts" (at the time it was reported).

neutralgamer19923236d ago

septic

maybe i am missing something but original TF came ansd went and i don't remember much fuss about it not being on ps4. respawn went to sony and sony said no so i don't blame the developers

i just hope there is enough content this time around. that was one thing majority agreed on that after a few weeks that was it

coolbeans3236d ago

@neutralgamer1992

"maybe i am missing something but original TF came and went and i don't remember much fuss about it not being on ps4"

Then you missed out on a lot of negativity thrown against it back in the day.

Gazondaily3236d ago

"Hopefully both camps can support TitanFall 2 with as little bickering as possible and truly enjoy the experience."

Well it's coming out on PS4 so I definitely expect a lot less hate than last time that's for sure.

Titanfall was great and this looks even more fun. Cant wait

freshslicepizza3236d ago

cross platform play would be a good treat too.

Gaming4Life19813236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

Yea it was hated solely for being on Xbox and not on ps. So this time I'm sure it will be praised all around.

Titanfall was a really good game that became great when the dlc dropped. Im sure Titanfall 2 will be a even greater game.

Great sales for a new ip and to think just the other day people on here were trying to say the game was not a success.

@stereotypical_gamer

I remember all the hate articles on this site for Titanfall and they had nothing to do with what respawn said about the cloud or some shit. Ps fans on this site do it all the time with xbox games like rise of the tomb raider for example. I'm not calling out all ps fans but we all know the haters/hypocrites on here.

Stereotypical_gamer3236d ago

@Gaming4Life1981

Actually it was hated because the developers came out and said that the game wasn't possible on the ps4 because of the cloud or some shit and we all knew that was a lie. Now that they aren't feeding us a line of bs titanfall should do quite well.

ShadowKnight3236d ago

@moldybread Cross platform play is not happening.

abstractel3236d ago

I disliked it because it was MP only. I'm not an Overwatch player either because of that reason, but I do like the idea of Overwatch a lot more because of the diversity of characters and the loot boxes so even if you don't have the time to play much you still get something out of it rather than looking at the leader board all the time and seeing the people who play all the time get the most out of the game.

If the Titanfall 2 campaign turns out to be good (from impressions, reviews) I'll buy it for that. I wasted money buying Titanfall 1 and I did it because of the hype and that they were promising some over-arching story that turned out to be mostly BS.

donthate3236d ago

@Stereo:

It wasn't a lie at all. That story was well documented, that it was only possible on Xbox One because of MS support with cloud services at a reasonable cost. Sony didn't even respond to Respawn, let alone make an offer, thus it was only possible on XB1 and PC.

freshslicepizza3236d ago

"Cross platform play is not happening. "

is that official or do you think they might update it in the future?

LOL! I remember that. Just to confirm :

Celebrating 10 million! https://twitter.com/VinceZa...

10 million what? Users, copies sold....? In the end, it was 10 mil. users. But there are someone who saw 10 mil. users = sales. LOL

Why o why3236d ago

They were guilty by omission there. . If you have to clarify something it can be seen as being deceptive initially.

Well done regardless. . New ips are one of the main cornerstones for the growth of our hobby.

zb1ftw7773236d ago

It always made me laugh when Sony fanboys would claim this game dead. There were masses playing it and still playing it.

Not constantly being in the media eye != being dead.

By that logic Overwatch is dead already also.

Anyways.....Titanfall is still one of the best multiplayer shooters out there.

Congratz for the sales to prove this.

Didn't sale matters? Sales matters depending on the mood and if there is full moon or something like that?

Automatic793236d ago

@zb1ftw777

Well said, I remember the nonsense coming out of some fanboys not all. So far this generation all the hypocritical PS fanboys have been swallowing to much PS hater juice. For all the sales talk about PS4 they still haven't managed to have any game on PS4 selling more the Titanfall, Halo MCC or Halo 5. Heck there closest competitor has less than 3 million below the highest Xbox One titles. Further, for all who keep talking about Titanfall on PS4 selling more. Just look at the dud called Streetfighter V, so much for Install base. The game combined on PS4 and PC still not over a million(7months later). Heck the hater Juice even made ya look bad with talk about TombRaider which is already over 2 million on Xbox One alone. That's the reason I don't take any of the horrible PS fans serious. King thrash and Overload I am speaking about both of you. To all the respected PS gans I have nothing but love for you. However, these so called trolls have disgraced gaming. Again, no disrespect to true gamers(you know who you are).

iceman063236d ago

To be fair, at least with Titianfall, you are comparing PS4 only sales to the sales of it on Xbox One, PC, and 360. Streetfighter V is a KNOWN incomplete game and it's in a genre that has become more niche in the last 2 generations. We won't know about Tomb Raider until it's released. Halo remains a beast!

Overall I DO get your point...fanboys brag. But, that's their nature. We can chose to ignore it or we can engage in the silly pursuit of trying to convince someone with obvious confirmation bias (they only see what they want to see) that they are somehow wrong. Besides, the facts will remain long after they are twisted and contorted and reasonable people will STILL be able to see them.

LoveSpuds3236d ago

@MichealLito

For all your talk of Sony fanboys the tone and language used in your post makes you seem equally as toxic and petty.

CernaML3236d ago

Umm.. Uncharted 4 on PS4 sold more than Titanfall and Halo MCC on X1 so far. And its catching up to Halo 5 pretty quickly.

Stogz3236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

I keep getting confused. You xbox fanboys keep talking about how sales don't matter, yet here you are with a giant paragraph of how sales do matter. Which is it? Oh and thanks for writing the most childish thing I've read all day...

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad1008d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g1008d ago (Edited 1008d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
