that's a big bump
Lol wut?
It's a pretty big bump. It's 4% off doubling the sales.
96 percent of a small number?, haven't we seen sales of consoles boosted by 1000% in the past with release of titles.

Almost twice as much as the period leading up to the TitanFall launch. Time to see if the sales continue to approve and Microsoft's plan of a tiered launch in Europe will pay off.
Should be noted that the sales increase concerns just the UK.

That's a pretty decent bump. Sales are gonna be huge once it's out for the 360.
Likely, but I have to wonder what the sales were like in the week pre-titanfall.

I don't think XBO sales in the UK are "a small number".
That 1000% increases are for the fledging Wii U.

Depends what the numbers were before.
Given that we've heard PS4 was outselling it 3:1, it's still not ahead of that.

Based on my own anecdotal evidence that sounds about right. When I went to preorder mine there was a stack of possibly 30-40 behind the counter and when I went back on Saturday to pick something up they were all gone. No idea how they were selling before, but it certainly wasn't that much.
Haha yes. I guess its really week to week sales, so this bump actually isnt one.

That's not exactly unprecedented, particularly in the UK. Hell, it's not even unprecedented for Xbox consoles.
Would be significant if it was a monthly 96% bump. But it's not, it's a weekly bump. Maybe even a daily bump, who knows with that verbiage.
Japan sales age teaches us that 96% weekly hardware bumps are not very extraordinary.
A bit of both, although the One would still be £50 more expensive here in the UK, but with Titanfall packed in it becomes more competitive with the PS4.

So 10,000 units?

small number is higher than the non existant numbers vita and wii u put up
It's been soft here hence a price drop and even more drops unofficially.
It's a bigger release than Halo 2 Anny. But I'm surprised this isn't considered a big bump. Most people who'd have wanted TF would have already bought the unit. I'd never expect a game to get a huge number of people to buy a system just on launch week.

I'm not sure if it's a big bump or not, but I was under the impression that it would do a lot more with all the price drops, bundling, AND the release of Titanfall. I don't know what the numbers were like prior, but I thought I saw they were quite low? It seems like they would be if they decided to drop the price... Hmm...
It's really hard to gauge, since it's just a WoW increase figure.
Sales might have been shit before that, and typically, weekly sales would go down before a big game release (especially bundled, and with a price cut) as people would wait until that is released.
Unless it sold a lot more than the average of a past few weeks, which we don't know, it's impossible to tell whether it actually had a strong effect.
Thing is, no other XB1 title went up the charts apart from DR3 at the bottom of the list.
I thought they reconfirmed that Halo 5 was indeed coming this year?

Pointless without knowing how high the week before was,and whether or not the sales will be sustained after launch.
If it was so simple, Vita would had been successful. T_T

Vita saw a 68% boost at the launch of ps4 the another 60% the week following, stats mean little until we know what it sold previous.
