So.....who will star in the movie?!
Cruise missle's production company is (probably) already in talks to produce and star...

And the upcoming Wii U release will add dozens more.
Source? 1.6 seems way low, when considering it amounted to 49% of UK sales, which is where Xbone and PS4 are most closely matched. I'd expect something in the leagues of 55-65% world wide tbh, around 2.4M.
Is this confirmed? EA must be crying with the Titanfall deal. EA had a potentially huge franchise on their hands and could have had a huge hit. Instead it has squandered it away with exclusivity.
So is this an actual insider number or just a guess?
Love how people with 0 insider credibility come in and drop a random number, hope a mod verifies your status because this vague shit has been toxic.
10+ million? That is quite a generous estimate there... And EA isn't a dumb company. They wouldn't have made this exclusive deal with Microsoft if it was going to harm their financials or their franchise.
Additionally, they also made lots of Titanfall sales on PC and 360. It wasn't just Xbox One.
And so what if it didn't sell as well as they wanted. They laid the groundwork for future titles and there is already anticipation.
Very good, the game is fun, and that is how some games are meant to be.
Probably should have mentioned it was a guess. People take what you say too seriously here.Total guess guys lol
Watch Dogs 2,3,4,5,6,7 confirmed.
I think you give EA too much credit. It isn't like they have made all the right moves. They have a lousy track record that speaks for itself.
I think the point that others are making is that yes perhaps MS financially covered the lost sales of Titanfall 1's on PS4 but the damage to the brand might be a bit higher over the course of the generation. By effectively shunning the enthusiast PS4 audience, EA may have turned that franchise into a very decent selling IP rather than that generational dominate game like COD or GTA that a crazy amount of people play/buy. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but sequels that appear on platforms that the original did not tended to sell much worse on said platform. Even late ports sold like dog shit. Nothing is for sure but I don't think MS potentially covered that kind of financial spread because the swing from decent selling game to generationally dominant game could be billions of dollars over a generation.

That's pretty damn good - obviously. Wonder what the platform splits were? I know we got UK splits but would be interested to see the global picture, particularly current gen vs last gen combined split and the PS4/XB1 and PS3/360 split.
I'll second the view its good to see high sales for a decent game (with some rough edges) at this time of year; from a consumer perspective it drives me mad when publishers pile games on top of each other at certain times of the year and assume (wrongly I'm sure) that at other times of the year people stop playing completely.
Ubi's estimations were 6 million sales in the lifetime of the game. You can be sure they'll make good money from this game.It is funny people talking about how this game being the gateway for new IPs forgetting about Last of Us. Really a good IP just needs to be well made and have word of mouth. I wonder if WD will turn a profit? I bet they spent 8 million on the game. Bioshock Infinite sold 5 million, but did not make back budget.

I'd imagine PS4>XB1>360>PS3 in the US
PS4>>>>PS3>360>XB1 in the rest of europe.

Only counting the ones released this gen.Watch Dogs 2,3,4,5,6,7 confirmed.

The "downgrade"
Just goes to show that the average consumer really doesn't care about res/framerates.
Glad the game is doing so well. It has it's flaws but I love the open-ended approach to missions.
I'd say it only had 2 big issues: no PS version and no single player campaign. Easy to fix in the sequel (or in a single player DLC+ 'Titanfall Complete' retail SKU).That may be, however with all of this happening so early in this new gen's lifetime, I don't think EA or Respawn will have a hard time selling Titanfall 2 to the masses, especially if they fix all of the problems, update the engine, and pile loads of content into it.
Maybe. I was going to guess 20 million since Bioshock was 15, but it is probably closer to 70 with that article.If they only spent 8 million on the game, they made back their investment within the first few minutes, I'd imagine.
I'm honestly surprised by the numbers, I thought it would flop
Did some searching, my 8 million was way off. According to a producer, it was $68 million pre-delay. Source: http://www.vg247.com/2014/01/16/wat...-68-million-before-marketing-producer-claims/
Hopefully the sales do not die off, because otherwise wow...

Oh boy I didn't see this coming at all. Well congrats. Anyone want to guess how they did the following week?
Thought the same thing.
This should be a nail in the coffin for third party exclusives. Nobody is shelling out $400 for a second system that runs the game worse than hardware they already own.
