Tinfoil hat mode! I smell flim-flammery!
So Titanfall's DIGITAL sales got added to the physical chart! Most irregular!
Well no it makes sense, since in this case they know exactly how many "digital sales" happened.

Larger install base and on two consoles? nope, still impressive.
Could you please provide a link? This must have slipped me by.

The game touted as the next big shooter (the most popular genre) by all the games media, with the full marketing support of EA and Microsoft juggernauts,
vs
a hardcore brutal RPG series that has garnered it's support over 3 games due to word of mouth about how good it is.
Pretty much. It would have been a disaster if DSII outsold TF.

For all the talk of a "big" HW bump for Xbone, it doesn't look like there was any corresponding bump for Xbone software at all.
"Clearly designed for consoles" you say?
It only makes sense if you know the digital sales of everything. For all we know digital sales of DS2 might have brought it to number one. Yeah, right ;-)
Be that as it may, it is clear that if they DIDN'T count them then it wouldn't have been number one. Which smells of special pleading of MS wanting to have their cake and eat it. They didn't want to have to give a physical copy in the bundle, but also wanted it to count in the chart.
Like I say, tinfoil hat ;-)
Week 1, 2014
FIFA 14 (-48%) - 62,210
Call of Duty: Ghosts (-55%) - 52,935
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (-50%) - 49,128
Battlefield 4
Grand Theft Auto 5 (-64%) - 28,358
What's surprising is Dark Souls II selling more on 360. DS sold 58% on PS3 in 2011. Seems 360 has usurped PS3 as the home of the Souls series.
31 (32) 360 ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES (SEGA)
The LEGO Movie, which in its opening weekend took the theatrical No.1 spot at the Box Office, was also the biggest debut week of an all new video game in 2014 with 42,900 units and an immensely popular toy launch.
Sigh. Are they selling this for 99p or something?
So 124,420 for Titanfall?
Will that be reflected worldwide though? I know the UK tends to be a microcosm for similar patterns in the US, but around most of Europe it will probably sell better on the PS3, and obviously in Japan sales will lean heavily in favour of the PS3 as well.
Do we know XBO/360/PC splits for Titanfall yet?

I know the 360 percentage!(zero).
I only know the 360 number.
"Titanfall more than doubles the sales of what had been 2014s current leader FIFA 14"
So +125k
There is no doubt the game helped.
Yoshi @ 10 expected?

Seems too high. Do they not mean doubles sales this week?
There's nothing unbelievable in that number.Seems too high. Do they not mean doubles sales this week?
LEGO Movie should be at about 14.6K for week 11; LTD should be around 155K.There was an interview with WB's sales and marketing director in the UK about their performance in the uk market:

This bit of data on LEGO Movie 1st week can help calculations:
Sigh. Are they selling this for 99p or something?
Oh, wait. Didn't the XO also get a pricecut last week?
That would explain the bump. So it's not just Titanfall. PR gotta PR, I guess.
We actually did not see a percentage report after the price cut.Oh, wait. Didn't the XO also get a pricecut last week?
That would explain the bump. So it's not just Titanfall. PR gotta PR, I guess.
trust me it is titan fall. the price drop didn't really do anything. Bundling unsold units with titanfall skyrocketed sales for the company i work for.
I don't want to say it but you wouldnt believe how many ps4's were traded in towards xbox one titanfall bundles. A lot more than you would think, i can promise you that.
A lot more than I would think would be "one". Why would you buy a PS4 just to resell it when Titanfall comes out? It's not like Titanfall is some huge surprise no one could have thought of before.

Well seeing as the 360 version is currently numebr 11 in the charts over at Amazon, and teh PC version is tenth, i'm assuming they've added to the figures in some way.
Amazon counts preorders, 360 version isn't out for 2 weeks.

Food for thought: If Xbone/PS4 sales previously were 1:3 in the UK and they increased by 100% the week Titanfall was released, then that means the ratio became 2:3, so for every 2 Xbones 3 PS4s were sold.
But they weren't.

Oh, I was pretty sure I had seen that number thrown around.
We don´t know, would be more accurate.
