I imagine EA is holding backing to include TF's 360 number to give a comprehensive sales figure. Could be XB1 TF global sales aren't all that impressive or EA is motivated to present a gaudy number that makes a PR splash.
Infamous vs. Titanfall sales. And WTF is 'hype' anyway?? *spawn

TF seems to have done well in NA and the UK. Everywhere else it just doesn't seem to have happened. But partly that is down to MS not having XB1's available in a fairly wide swathe of countries and also the EU and others seem to have to be very wary about overly hyped games. I'd also expect the EU to be far more PC centric in sales for a MPFPS like TF.
But, yeah, I think they are waiting for XB360 numbers (220% sales increase for TF in the UK after the launch), it looks as though far more people than MS would have hoped for waited for the 360 version. With those in hand they can finally start blowing the PR trumpet about sales.
Otherwise it's one of those massively hyped moments where everyone draws a deep breath in expectation of the shocking news to come but then... Poof! Nothing happens. And everyone goes back to playing CoD, BF4, Warframe and all the others that aren't about to die with the GamesSpy server cull. Of which I believe Crysis 1 and 2 are victims.

Last week MCV didn't mentioned XB1 TF sales, and some of you guys thought it was a typo.
Is it a typo again?
Anyhow, I did get confirmation that TF XB360 did go on sale early in most places in the UK, AmazonUK being one of them.
Edit: I believe MCV isn't factoring in TF XB1 bundles (like chart-track) and TF UK XB1 standalone sales are just low.
Better yet, let me ask you this. How big was the XB1 UK install base before TF was released?
Once you have that answer, then add up all the TF XB1 standalone sales since the release date. If the number of TF standalone sales exceeds the user base, then something is quite wrong. Or their factoring in TF bundles as well with TF standalone sales.

Do you understand that MCV uses data from Chart-track? you know that chart-track rangers already linked.
How early? and what kind of confirmation. Your vague BS is getting old.
Then the data from week to week would be the same - from both sites. MCV actually uses multiple sources, including Amazon. Which Chart-Track has no access to.
Dude, stop - just stop. Plain and simple, I'm closer to retail than you think. But if you persist on attacking me, then I will just ignore you - that plain and simple.

Wonder why it says "compiled by GFK chart-track" on that MCV piece then...
May I ask that you also ignore this site?
edit: also colour me "surprised" that you didn't give any info worth something to back your word. Your word = zero.
Wonder why it says "compiled by GFK chart-track" on that MCV piece then...
Then ask yourself, why are the numbers (positions) vastly different? Because MCV uses multiple sources!

Umm because one (the one rangers linked) is individual formats and the one you linked is all platforms format.
Which puts XB1 "TF standalone" nowhere on the list. Noticed in MCV list, it has all the platform names (multiple platform names at each title) listed by the actual game and position. It only has XB360 listed for TF sales... which is true!.
Rangers list pertains to the highest games sales on that platform - so, XB1 number one game would be Titanfall! While PS4 number one game isn't ISS anymore... rather a 3rd party game.
CT = System specific sales.
MCV = Overall software sales.

The MCV chart has Titanfall all platforms combined, despite it only mentioning X360. Combined like all the other games on that list also. The one rangers linked showed that Titanfall is nr 1 and 2 individually. Yeah it looks like the clear majority of Titanfall Xbox One sales at the moment comes from bundled Hardware sales. That changes nothing for this argument, nor is there any sort of proof that MCV somehow ignores these bundled sales.
It was a typo.
Yes.
And MVC have once again mis-labelled Elder Scrolls Online formats again. Again. Just like they have with Titanfall. It is a typo, again.
MVC use Chart Track. The giveaway is that MVC state clearly on each weekly chart that they use Chart Track.
Not as close to UK retail as Chart Track, who MVC use as the source of their chart.
MVC use Chart Track. They even state this explicitly.
For the time being, the positions on this chart [from MVC, sourced from Chart Track]: http://www.mcvuk.com/retail-biz/charts
and this chart [directly from Chart Track]: https://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110015
... are exactly the same.
The individual format charts based off the same retail figures are here:

Titanfall on Xbox One is doing great.

OK. Look, this is a boring subject and I genuinely have no idea why people care so much about the sales of Titanfall (except for the obvious, tedious, reasons).
That chart is exactly the same as the MVC chart and exactly the same as the original GFK Chart Track listing. It's the "all formats" chart where all versions are added together.
The GI article even states...
Look at their breakdown by version here and you'll see that the 360 version is no 1 and the XB1 version is no 2. This has all been said before though so I'm at a loss how people can't understand.
