Edit2: It's not even a quarter of what it sold on XB1 with the first game, real shame. Shame.

That is attrocious, and it is such a great game

Standby for Titanflop.

Ouch, that sucks.

I blame EA

Guymelef · Oct 31, 2016

Well done EA.

SmartWaffles · Oct 31, 2016

Thanks EA!

Chris1 · Oct 31, 2016

Hope it has strong legs, doesn't deserve such poor sales

Mikey Jr. · Oct 31, 2016

I am not the least bit surprised.

You should add this one :

Titanfall had a full week, Titanfall 2 had 1 day

Detox · Oct 31, 2016

Congratulations EA you played yourself

Zalman · Oct 31, 2016

Everyone saw this coming from miles away. Bad time to release the game.

Alienfan · Oct 31, 2016

I think it's still too early to call it a flop, it took a while for Rainbow six to start selling well. Hopefully titan fall has similar legs

foxbeldin · Oct 31, 2016

They barely got people excited over it. Have you seen the hype for TF2? No.

Azzawon · Oct 31, 2016

Great game or not, there's no excuse for releasing it between BF1 and CoD with minimal marketing. EA sent it out to die.

Number45 · Oct 31, 2016

Wasn't the original HEAVILY co-marketed with Microsoft, with bundles and everything? I haven't seen a great deal in mainstream media about TF2 at all.

EDIT: Perhaps word of mouth will help. Certainly hearing a lot of good things.

3 days.

And does it really matter?

CBOAT won.

jmaine_ph · Oct 31, 2016

Should've released in March like the last Titanfall game. Going against the heavy hitters was suicide.

Poster#1 · Oct 31, 2016

TF1 fans don't like what happened to the multiplayer so this isn't surprising.

Aceofspades · Oct 31, 2016

You don't release next to BF1 and expect good sales.

Bruno MB · Oct 31, 2016

Please note that < 52,000 is the upper limit based on Fifa 17 for PlayStation 4, so Titanfall 2 may have sold noticeable less copies than that.

Pixels · Oct 31, 2016

I didn't even know it was out.

GinoFelino · Oct 31, 2016

Game will end up doing just fine from word-of-mouth. Quality always wins out in the end.

Prisoner KSC2-303 · Oct 31, 2016

Really not surprising.

If they'd released in the spring, then some of the BF and CoD players would've picked it up, but it's just getting crushed between two giants. Add in disappointment over the campaign from the first, and a lack of real push to correct that via marketing, and you've got a recipe for disaster. Hopefully after the good reviews the campaign is getting they can focus ads on that aspect, and market it as sufficiently different to the other FPSs to gain some traction.

The problem is, when a game starts tanking, people start waiting for it to hit a lower price.

Not with EA putting their marketing behind BF1 it won't. And with COD just about to come out. This was an extremely poor time to put it out

My thoughts as well. I've heard nothing but good things.

Now let's see what the online MP retention rate is like in a few months.

eggandI · Oct 31, 2016

chromatic9 · Oct 31, 2016

Battlefield 1 had 1 day, most games do. Doesn't stop them selling.

Little Old Man · Oct 31, 2016

This is what happens when schedule two triple AAA shooters from the same publisher a week apart. As cockups by EA go, this is up there given how easy it was to see a mile off and prevent.

Titanfall should have been released next spring.

danowat · Oct 31, 2016

Could it be that EA Access starting to have an impact on sales?, I am fairly interested in the game, but not enough to warrant getting it full price, especially when it'll come to EAA in the future.

Drencrom · Oct 31, 2016

Why is EA purposely killing off TF2? Putting it against another major EA FPS title is bad enough, but CoD too?

Aztechnology · Oct 31, 2016

Hope this pulls a Rainbow Six Siege on us with slow growth. I've been hearing great things. This really is EA's doing though.

I don't actually know that but what else could have forced them into such an awful release date given how BF1's release coincided with it?

It was originally hyped up as the Xbox One's killer app. I'm curious to see if part of the reason it's not selling is people felt burned by the first game.

Yes?

A hugely busy day for retail?

TheFatOne · Oct 31, 2016

This game had to be mind blowing given the release date. Just an extremely poor decision to come out when they did.

I don't think it will. R6's success isn't solely due to strong word of mouth it has the benefit of carving out a niche in the genre.

ClivePwned · Oct 31, 2016

EA's response

jelly · Oct 31, 2016

It might have great word of mouth and legs. Slow burner that gathers pace towards Christmas and beyond.

BF hype is hard to beat but people get sick of it eventually and if performance is ropey in multiplayer, come to smooth 60fps TF2 land, a great campaign and free DLC.

Sleight of Jam · Oct 31, 2016

It's like EA didn't want this game to sell well. I feel bad for respawn.

I didn't and won't be getting it because the community is going to die quicker than TF1's did and it's all because of EA.

GinoFelino · Oct 31, 2016

No doubt. But it's starting to build some serious momentum. The only thing that can kill its momentum is when Infinite Warfare's campaign is equally great. It has little to fear of its multiplayer.

Don't quote me on that

Don't we? I've been playing the shit out of it and enjoying it.

Terrible release date is all it is, the game is great.

Logsi · Oct 31, 2016

I picked up the Deluxe Bundle BF1 and TF1 from the Store with CDkeys vouchers and discount yesterday for just over £100. Seemed like a good deal getting two deluxe £69.99 games. I'm not usually one for tacked on skins but just over £50 each for the games digitally seemed good to me!

More interested in supporting TF2. Hated the tech test but really want to support the dev. Loved what I played of the MP last night though. Oh how things change! Also looking forward to the SP.

UK:TF's first week sales on XB1 is more than the double amount TF2 sold on PS4&XB1
