Your logic is flawed. If Titanfall sales were "bad" then Infamous were worse.
However the "almost double" sales of Titanfall in it's first week versus the sales of Infamous:SS in its first week were retail copies and not digital download.
Some people probably bought the console with the DD code (so I guess TF is a system seller ) I bought the DD code and I already own the XB1 (I prefer digital)
Also, not all companies release game sales weekly (not many do). (I have not seen any Infamous sales numbers either, why are you not criticising them?).
edit: and up to your tricks of using Amazon's hourly sales??? Citing ONE retailer is extremely LAME
First of all prove to me that Infamous 1 and 2 sold 4 or 5 million copies each,because that is the only way its sales could be consider bad,1 million pre-orders is quite allot for Infamous SS considering the PS4 is 3 months old,and considering Infamous is not a very popular game to begin with.
How can titanfall be a system seller when it been given free and with a price drop.?
A system seller is a game that sell for full price and make people get the console regardless,almost 400K PS4 were sold in Japan with Knack i guess that make Knack and system seller.lol
The bundle is been offer for 70+ pounds less in UK that the xbox one would cost you at the beginning of February so off course people will go for it,it wasn't TF per say it was a free game + price drop,they could have included a crappy game and a price drop and still would have sell,when there is a price drop sales jump.
And they should but then again Infamous didn't cost sony half a billion in advertising,nor has been piggy back ride by journalist since E3 as the best thing since slice bread.
MS does have a tendency to ride sales,it does it with all its successful game,and it take 1 day not 2+ weeks or more,sony on the other hand is not that open with numbers,find me sony hyping Infamous sales 1 day after launch by sony,because i can show you MS gloating Halo sales 1 day after the game release.
Denying that TF has cost MS a ton of cash in advertising is a joke,another joke is pretending that this game carry the same hype as Infamous they are not even close,TF has been hype here to be the be all end all of FPS,Infamous is just another sequel,TF should be selling xbox one by the ton,because it was advertise as the greatest thing ever,and you lemming call it a system seller,now system seller games are not given for free on launch that is a joke,Halo wasn't and was property of MS.
Oh please go and use the 2014 one it show the same the PS4 on top of the xbox one.
Go to gamestop and you will see the same.

TF show be selling units by the ton even more when is free,system seller aren't given free.
Want me to tell you what i think happen with Titanfall.?
MS and EA had a clause probably for certain numbers of copies that need it to be sold in order for the game to stay on the xbox one this time,when this deal was done EA and MS were sure that MS would beat sony,and EA already admit that the make a wrong calculation,now the game sold average probably and MS after putting so much money into advertising the game had no choice but to bundle the game free and pay EA for it,TF is costing MS a fortune between advertisement and the free copies,there is no point in claiming that the xbox one is selling at record breaking pace,only out of desperation to bundle your best and most hyped game,no sense what so ever and MS didn't do that ever not even when the PS2 was destroying the original xbox.
