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.

Georgasm Now all we need is kinect-less Xbox bundles!

I use mine on and off. It's a great device, the fact is, if you don't want it then sell it. Either way it's part of the Xbox 1, people need to stop moaning about it and just embrace it.

Just one small problem, the Kinect is only compatible with Xbox One and every Xbox One ships with a Kinect. I find it hard to believe anyone would want to buy one.

Besides, like you say, it appeals to a variety of people, I'm just not one of them. It's not that I don't like it, it's just I see no need for it.

The kinect can break without warranty, and people might want another. But I kind want one of the bundles, the controller looks sick!

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.

Well, this was to be expected.

For a game this hyped up, surely the sales would of grown plentifully.

MaggardoPosted: Mon. Mar 17, 2014

DreamsPosted: Mon. Mar 17, 2014

NatusVincere EA's call of duty all i have to say.

EA's CoD is Battlefield Respawn has memebers from both companies

LatiasPosted: Mon. Mar 17, 2014

Olaf Im no way surprised in this. What other game is out at the moment to compete with it?

Infamous SS is Somy's only answer as of now. The game cant match Titanfall though, as there are much more FPS fans.
