Nice to see the EA Partners legacy continued, EA always did a great job of throwing those games under the bus.
Sunday in UK, Stores are open.
I do not live in UK.
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.
Titanfall 2's sales weren't even 25% of the first. Disappointing. Was its release date an EA or Respawn decision? http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...skyrim-and-battlefield-1-impress-in-uk-charts

Why is EA purposely killing off TF2? Putting it against another major EA FPS title is bad enough, but CoD too?
Oh, no...
Next on the list seems to be Watch Dogs 2.
Wow...Oh, no...
Oh, no...
Welp.Oh, no...
Watch Dogs 2 will not fail. So many people seem to be thinking that, but I think there is no chance of this happening. The first game sold >10 million copies, and I would wager that WD2 will sell at least as much.
They could have delayed the game at any time and pushed it back to december or even next year, silently finishing the gold version and working on slow-burn fixing and QA till the eventual release.I think EA wanted to strangle COD. Battlefield 1 gets a massive crowd and some COD players, Titanfall picks off the COD crowd. Double hit. I don't think they saw Modern Warfare coming though.
I am really, REALLY praying for this, because I really want to play the game but I'm a college student and my 2 month video game budget already went into BF1. But if EA drops the support as fast as I fear they will (unlike REALLY supporting the game, like Ubi did with R6: Siege), including NOT starting to advertize the heck out of it after the initial CoD hype is over, the game will die, even if it does so slower than TF1.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.
Oh, no...
Oh, no...
Jesus christ.
So <31250? Unless that's counting the 360 sales too, but I assume not as it launched later?
At least as much? Man, you'll lose that wager and then some.
I do think it'll sell just fine. Many people will want to see how it looks on PS4 Pro, too.
In theory the Xbox 360 week one sales shouldn't be included, but even if they were Titanfall 2 would be below 40,000 units.
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.
who was not aware of TF2 not having a campaign? i'm pretty sure this has been covered since the dawn of time.
And hopefully people will realize how good of a game it actually is, and more people will buy it, because honestly this game is GOTY material imo.

Guess part of the reason is I haven't heard of the game outside these forums, how did they fail to create hype for it?
Everyone talked about the original game back when it came.
Also, the title hurts my brain a bit. Should have said:
"UK: Titanfall 2 first weekend sales total much less than half of TF1's Xbone week 1 sales"
Okay? You questioned Sunday, and someone clarified that stores are open here on Sundays. I would wager it's the second busiest retail day after Saturday.
So much of that was free marketing from people playing at events, Beta, and everyone loved it. This game has had the opposite. Every bit the same amount of free marketing, but negative.Guess part of the reason is I haven't heard of the game outside these forums, how did they fail to create hype for it?

I'm more surprised this game was released already, I have seen no ads at all, nor people talking about it.
Yeah I doubt they are included.
It's absolutely insane that a delayed 360 version of Titanfall 1 sold practically the exact same as Titanfall 2 on XB1 and PS4.. Holy shit. Hell, it might have even sold more..

In the UK it's definitely the second biggest retail day of the week.
