Titanfall helps the Xbox One almost double weekly sales in the UK

4.7
The Xbox One saw UK week-on-week sales jump by 96 percent alongside the arrival of Titanfall, with the game's bundle accounting for 70 percent of the hardware shifted. It's no surprise, then, that EA's multiplayer shooter went top of the country's sales charts, despite a valiant effort from Dark Souls 2.

Namco brought Demon's Souls to Europe almost a year after Atlus released it North America, and it debuted sixth in the UK charts back in June 2010. A year later, Dark Souls landed in third, and its sequel went one better with a 20 percent rise in UK sales over its predecessor. Not a bad performance for the action-RPG series, especially since at one stage it looked uncertain to even reach Europe.

Looking down the UK charts, a month that's been packed with new releases meant there wasn't enough space in the top ten for Yoshi's New Island. The 3DS game placed 12th.

I think a lot of people were waiting until this game to come out to get a Xbox One.

I had a feeling that the sales would increase but I am surprised that they almost doubled.

General_Raam IMO and many of my friends, the Kinect is a huge part of the console with the functionality it has and also if you don't have a headset adapter yet you can use it, no one gets annoyed because you use your headset for game volume and people don't even notice your using a kinect.


Exactly, if you aren't using/playing games that use kinect then your not experiencing the Xbox One at its finest.
