I've not seen that tweet.
Edit:just seen that tweet.
That means last week the ratio was less than 1.135:1 in PS4s favour. A large departure from the 1.5:1 Gara reported at the end of last month. We have to assume that there really were no PS4s Available last week. Though I don't recall hearing that the Xbone won last week?
Good find - article seems to have a fair amount of figures/statements. Sounds like PS4 is not just ahead but is ahead enough that it can absorb the TitanFall bump in UK. Assuming Second Son delivers even a modest boost (which it probably should as noted in the article) I suspect that, at least initially, PS4 might well be able to "ride out" the impact of TitanFall in UK and ultimately remain ahead.
Wonder if the stock price will go down if the rumour of requirement of an Office 365 subscription for Office for iPad is true.

Lol that's what's been causing confusion in the whole thread. Whether those boosts are the result of TitanFall sales or if someone's just been aggregating the boost (at least for XBO) to TitanFall based on simple logic/common sense (which despite such could be wrong).
I think stockholders probably see an Office subscription as a good thing rather than a bad thing.
They created a lot of the bundles. In our medium sized store, we were sent around 40 Titanfall bundles. We still have over half of those left. Probably the same story on amazon

where the hell are my Titanfall sales figures EA? Its been a week.
It's the same general story in the Northeast Best Buy district here in the US. We've still got more than half of the Titanfall bundles we were shipped, and I believe we're at a little more than 2/3 left of the X1 copies of Titanfall left (we were shipped 1200 district wide).

Thanks Abdiel
Always love getting info from you. How many stores are in your district again? If you don't mind me asking?

It's been very quiet since TF launched. Very curious how a title with the biggest marketing push shows. The game is definitely made to be fun (though for me, only on foot, I'm not liking it when titans are involved) but this will be interesting to see if marketing is enough to push a game beyond.
Thanks Abdiel

13 Stores, from as far as Bangor ME, to the North of NY.

So I checked how many copies of Titanfall we've sold... 5.
Well that settles it then.
UK and urban. We still have a lot of copies of the game left too.
What I found amazing is that I was in work most of the day on Tuesday and when I left with 1 hour till close we had only sold 1 copy of the game. Obviously only one day but I don't get the impression Titanfall will have great legs. Sales were good over the weekend
Makes me wonder how I've been able to find a match!
Azure spins up servers on demand. If there are 12 total people that own the game and want to play, Azure will spin up one dedicated virtual server for them...
;p
You aren't playing against real people. The AI is actually that good and people just haven't realized it.

fast question, am i the only one thinking its funny that the 360version is delayed again?
i would say, microsoft paid a nice little amount to get more time selling the x1...
ignore if my conspiracytheorys are stiupid
Some say that given the XBOX1 version is not exactly perfect it's no surprise the less relevant-to-microsoft 360 version is potentially a mess.

I do like the look of Titanfall but it's still not enough to tip me over the edge into an Xbox One purchase.
I shall hang fire until the series exclusivity issue is sorted out.

Not sure if relevant to discussion, but in the electronic issue of MCV UK (paywall):

So it is possible that PS4 sales could go up further next week, if demand remains.MCV UK said:

Infamous: Second Son ahead of MGS: Ground Zeroes and Titanfall? I wonder how this affects the sales. Is there a thread about it? I can't find one so this would be a good landing ground.

"As youd expect from a series with close ties to the PlayStation it was the PlayStation 4 version that sold the most, with 58 per cent of sales. That left the Xbox One on 20 per cent, the PlayStation 3 on 15 per cent, and the Xbox 360 on just 7 per cent.
Sales of Titanfall fell by 73 per cent in its second week, which isnt that unusual for a big release (Dark Souls II was down 71 per cent) and especially not for a next gen exclusive where most console owners will have been keen to get the game as soon as possible."

Its even worse when you consider that some places were offering a £60 price cut last week on the Xbox one with titanfall
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=789860 Some numbers extrapolation from known data in there too.
True. I wonder how hardware sales were for the past week though with Sony getting extra stock and 2 PS4 titles out. Its even funny that FFX made it close to TitanFall.
Are these Digital too? Cause not a single person in my friends list bought Titanfall physical disc...all Digital (US Store, cheaper than euro). The same thing goes for inFamous on my friends list.
Tbh me, and most of my friends, stoped buying physical cause we all go for the US X1/PS4 Store this new generation.

You are surprised second week sales of a game were beaten by first week sales of two other quite big titles?
That's not really suprising.

My store got 25 infamous consoles on friday, by the end of Sunday we had one left. It's being used a doorstop until my colleague gets paid.
No, I don't think digital is included. Which somewhat skews the figures. Loads of ppl bought digital.
Bit to be expected. If you own an XB1 it's most likely because of Titanfall at this point, so I would imagine that most everyone who wants the game went ahead and bought it already. Probably won't have much for legs either, due to the MP intimidation factor and knowing a sequel has to be no more than a year or two off.
Your friends are not the average consumers.
Many people doesnt even bother creating second or third accounts and dont have credit cards or shops that sell network cards. Besides, there is always the thing with warranty, local languages and sell used games. The majority of console gamers are still buying physical.
Yep, so we will never know the real numbers :S
