Xbox One sells one million+ (sell through to consumers) in all territories worldwide
- Thread starter Amir0x
- Start date
If it's after the launch date, I would expect their fully retail sellable boxes. It's NYC, space is expensive.

Wow, it doesn't seem like the XB1 is actually sold out. Those pics from Time Square are pretty comforting so at least I know I dont need to rush to buy one, should be around for a while.
Sony fans go out of their way to downplay Titanfall as much as MS fans go out of their way to make it seem like the second coming of Half Life. So all in all its pretty even.

Ha, that's very easy, dude. You are forgetting that XBL (on the contrary to PSN+) allows you to:
1) record gameplay
2) watch youtube
3) use a web browser
While Sony allows that without PSN+ subscription, lol.
It's in the thread title.

I'll never forget that they gave a free game to every single country but the US (maybe Canada?). I could have gotten Fifa for free and spent the money on an extra game.

Recall that even during Halo 3's launch month, 360 sales only doubled.
Titanfall will have an impact, I'm sure, but I don't think it's going to be anywhere near as large as some people are making it out to be. The shooter genre is so saturated, Titanfall doesn't have a single player, and there are plenty of options for all different types of multiplayer experiences now.
It will also be competing at a time when Destiny is coming out (multiplatform release), which I feel will be the MUCH bigger title given the scope of that game

acc to ms sold thru. So I guess they must have shipped a lot of shipped in wierd patterns where its sold out a lot some places and have lots of stock in others. OR they lied which I think is unlikely cause its just stupid. Don't put out a press release instead of lying etc etc

MS is prepared to take a bath.
Also I am sure titanfall will move units. Yes its a new IP but new IPs also tend to push units. If anything I think new IPs create more buzz cause its the "new next gen" thing on the "new next gen console".
I think its more of a question of how many units did the original halo end up pushing? Yes Halo was seminal as a console FPS but titanfall has immense buzz . It's multiplatform yes but its obvious from all the EA MS marketing that the focus is on pushing it as a xbox title.
Its not the second coming of half life but its definitely a big big deal and will push systems. I don't see anything similar from Sony so far. I don't anticipate Infamous pushing enough systems. Maybe driveclub or Order if Driveclub ends up really pushing social aspects well or Order if its this gen's GOW. But If I had to bet on which titles from the accounced ones are system sellers I would def say Titanfall. (This is ignoring late 2014 big names like Halo/Uncharted etc which will obviously push sales thru the roof especially if combined with a christmas price drop).

Destiny will sell more ps4s over time than titanfall will sell Xbox ones.
So while ps4 doesn't have a huge exclusive for early next year, it doesn't really matter, it'll be the cheapest place to get destiny and will feature the best version of it.
Multiplats can drive sales more than most exclusives, just look at cod

I'm wondering the same thing. I really don't care if they sold a million. Obviously if company one announces it, they aren't going to be a slouch and look embarrassed if there's didn't sell as much so I don't see the point of trying to prove them wrong. Let them have it. It's just a number.
Well, there is always the drama of MS lying and people feel good when they can say "gotcha". Still it would be interesting if MS didn't sell out. And there's always the people who want to see if the overarching plot of people feeling that after all the negative press and the pr nightmare MS created for itself results in any negatives.
This due to the fact titanfall is on the 360 not as many are going to move.....destiny however looks to be the game to jump as it's an open world mmofps(technically).
Borderland style shooter from bungie will sell more than titanfall

I no longer believe there are no stupid questions. Welcome to our gaming forum.
Mexico is full of class.
In some southern parts of Puerto Rico we purchase our vidya games in the same place we purchase milk and meat (it's right between the can of beans and goya).
Not really, if they sold through 1 million and still aren't sold out that proves a few things:
1.) Yield issues were exaggerated
2.) Supply of the Xbox One is currently outstripping demand
"Feelings" has nothing to do with this, I am just interested and like to discuss it that's all.

This is how I feel. Titanfall isn't a game that's launching on an overly-popular platform that is the sequel to the one of the biggest franchises in the US. It's a brand new IP, launching on Xbox One, and it is also available on the 360 and PC.
In the 360's early days, the most played game on LIVE was Halo 2.
Multiplats sell consoles now? I've heard the opposite around here for so long that I started to believe it (not really).
PS: Please tell me the next winning Powerball numbers.
It's on 360 and PS3 as well.

That's what I'm saying, the gamecube and PS2 shared some games, but nothing on this level.
Titanfall + Destiny will sell more Xbox one's over time than just than a Destiny game with exclusive content. See what I did there?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
So what was the horrible thing that was going to happen to Xbox One, as per cboat and the mod(s?) that he confided with? It seems like the launch was probably even smoother than the Ps4 one.

Well, PS4 apparently sold 1 million units, right? COD: Ghost from what I've heard sold well over 700,000 units. People are still buying COD even though they can get practically the same experience on much cheaper systems. Yeah, I think multiplatform games still can sell consoles better than even most exclusives. Give Microsoft some credit. The system is $500 dollars. Even selling a million units imo is quite impressive considering the PS4 and X1 are nearly identical to each other in many ways, especially with software.
Those wouldnt be from a certain banned site would they. Because their number is 703k

I'm curious to know the online population for both PS4 and Xbone for COD Ghosts. BF4 info is as easy as going to their stats website but I can't find the same for Ghosts. Can someone pull this? Just curious.

If I was to guess its mandatory micro transactions and nicke and diming pricing models in all first party games

The sold out statement is dubious, the sold through statement shouldn't be. I doubt Microsoft would outright lie with regard to that number, whereas the sold out statements are essentially equivalent to Tretton's "I'll give you $1000 if you can find one."

You missed Banderas in the family photo.
Well yea, its on 4 platforms...2 which both have 75+ million units sold...
Edit: Did you think Destiny was PS4 exclusive?

Good catch!
This. I think that hoping for the other competitor to do well, despite their intentions against consumers is straight mind-boggling.
If we support a company like Microsoft that tries to screw us gamers, then we're only sending a message that it's OK for Microsoft to be doing what they're doing, & then they'll say, "OK, these people like what we're doing, so we're going to keep on doing what we're doing & alienate consumers even more!".
