And for that, i'm very happy, honestly.
It probably did outsell ISS in the US but maybe not by much. Globally probably ISS outsold Titanfall.

Not even close.

Holy shit.
Devil's advocate: Darksiders II and Prototype 2 were both top-sellers for their release months, though those months were pretty terrible in general.
Titanfall is obviously in a much better position than that, but I'm just saying. (You know I'm not a Titanfall hater, I'm friends with you on Origin and you've seen me playing it.
)*standing ovation* You, sir, are good. lol.
Damn impressive considering the Xbox One is in less than half the markets that the PS4 is in. Come on, Let's not exaggerate. Titanfall is a very important release, no doubt about it, a very big release for MS and the Xbox One, but let's not start pretending like it's Halo. It has the potential to be a lot bigger, I still believe that, but it isn't there yet. As a multi-plat release I can see it being as big or bigger. Once everybody can play it there will be a lot less reason for people to keep forcing out "Meh, nothing special."
Come one guys. The Xbox is a two region console. None of those markets where the X1 hasn't launched, give two cents about the console.
The Xbox 360 was severely supply constrained when it launched. It took me over a moth to receive my pre-ordered console from EB Games. Others had to wait a lot longer.
Ah, shit. Sides hurting.Meanwhile at Nintendo...
No what I was trying to say was I couldn't tell if you were making a bad joke about Wii U sales being poor or not. As I said I think the console would've done better this month in comparison to last month. Mainly because of the extra week March has.
Sounds more like Levine shut down the studio on a personal whim, not because they were bankrupt.
Uh oh....
7 million sold to customers
5 million shipped to retailers
The number 5 million is much less if they ever reveal "sold to customers".
Basically, this.

Honestly expected the XB1 to sell the most this NPD.

It reminded me of that. I didn't realize it was a parody of it though. I've seen a lot of things on here that are ridiculous, yet serious posts, so it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.
April is definitely going to be nasty, lol. Regardless of if the sales were spread out. MS has more than just a price issue. They have to combat a system that has an incredibly great public perception. That is hard to overcome regardless of price.

Argh, that's probably so true. Sad, but true. Guess many people also were surprised when they found out that Titanfall is multiplayer only. Goddamn.
I was thinking it'd had been a system seller starting from launch. If I were interested in getting Titanfall on the Xbox One, I would have just gotten one at launch, since I'd figure there wouldn't be any price drops any time soon, so if I'm going to spend the money, might as well get the most of it. Of course, I would have been proven wrong....
Sold to customers vs. shipped.

This is good imo. I personally want more Yoshi games. Wonder how the 3DS did this month.
It most likely did considering March was for more competitive compared to February and they were in the same place in NPD results.

OMG!! This post !
I honestly expected Xbox One to be the best selling console this month.

Xbox 360 and PS3 never caught up with that initial lead, even with Wii dying two years early.
I don't think PS4 will die two years early

or much more if sony revealed shipped to retailers.
It would be nice to know how close inFamous was. One was a legit platform exclusive while the other was on PC as well, so seeing how much a title like Titanfall benefited from that PC port might be interesting. At the very least the master race could use it as ammo to show the hunger for PC ports of massive console titles. Wouldn't have mattered for inFamous, of course, but other third and second party exclusives would certainly benefit, I think.

It would seem that people may have seen past Microsoft's Xbox One "exclusive" marketing, and went for it on PC or waited for 360. Honestly this result isn't all that surprizing considering Infamous was a pretty big hit for Sony, in addition to PS4 going like hotcakes leading up to March.

It's a bit funny how so many GAFers seemed certain that the XBO would beat the PS4 in this month's NPD. I never really understood what they were basing that on, and I still don't.

If anything that goes directly against your argument since that was the 4th COD.

C'mon. Sony doesn't deserve to be Chris Bosh.

March is usually down over February because Feb has the benefit of the tax thing (don't know exactly I'm not American).
Last year for instance sales dropped about 10% in March.
That and DK gave WiiU a boost last month, so if it reverts to form along with the natural decrease, around 60k is feasible. Alas it wasn't anyway.
Has to be Ghosts.
