Titanfall boost XO sales in UK 96%, biggest #1 of 2014 in UK
Pretty strong it seems. Although the hardware bump might be pretty small really.
Also GAf had it estimated Fifa sold 62k week one 2014, which is the mark Titanfall doubled. So, it's safe to estimates Titanfall's sales are something around/slightly over 125k.
Which somebody also said was similar to Battlefield 4's first week sales in the UK, which was ~128k.
If so that I actually find really impressive, as BF4 would have launched across 360, PS3, and PC. For Titanfall to at least nearly match it on just XO and PC, is very impressive imo.
GAF has also worked out that Titanfall PC sales was less than 6k. So indeed the vast amount on XOne.

For hardware, I'm just completely talking out my ass here, but here's something...UK population is roughly 1/5 USA. If they sell ~1/5 hardware, last month that would have meant around 50k for the month. which is ~12,500 average per week.
Titanfall roughly doubling that could have meant 12,500 additional sales, for a total of 25k XOnes sold last week, of course this will not be an accurate figure, but could give us a feel.
Similarly, if we assume USA got a similar weekly Xone hardware boost to UK for TF, and also is selling in March at the same rate as February, it basically would mean XOne moved from shifting 62.5k two weeks ago to ~125k last week. Given March is a 5 week NPD month, extra Titanfall sales should easily push XO over 400k in March imo.
Barring though any unforeseen holes in the assumptions.
Also I guess we could do the same very rough calculation for TF sales. 5X125k=625k. Given additional weeks, we might assume USA March TF sales over 1 million?
The release of Titanfall boosted Xbox One sales by a whopping 96 per cent in the UK compared to the console's sales the previous week.
Respawn's PC and Xbox One shooter is the UK's best-selling game, as expected, and is the biggest release of 2014 so far with more than double the sales of what had been 2014's current leader, FIFA 14, Chart-Track revealed. The Xbox 360 version releases in a couple of weeks.
