Poll Which one will help sell its system more? (62 votes)

Titanfall (Xbox One) 48%
inFamous: Second Son (PlayStation 4) 16%
Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) 35%

All three systems are getting major titles in the coming months, and Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft are all three putting major chips on the table and heavily banking on these games to not just sell millions of copies, but also move the systems themselves. But which one of these three do you think will sell the most, and move the most consoles?

My bet would be Titanfall, though I'm curious how Mario Kart 8 will affect Wii U console sales.

Personally, I don't think inFamous: Second Son will sell much more, or at least it may not be noticeable given how PS4's appear to be selling.

Probably Mario Kart. The PS4 is already selling about as fast as Sony can make them, so it really can't get a bump, plus Infamous just isn't a very good series. Titanfall is multiplat, and the Xbone is still $500 (actually $550 if you want to play Titanfall). I don't think Mario Kart is going to make Wii U's fly off the shelf or anything, but I do think it will provide a nice sales bump.

Tough call between Titanfall and Mario Kart.

I voted Titanfall but I can see it going either way.

The only reason I see Titanfall not having as much of an impact as Mario Kart might potentially have is that it is not exclusive; surely its availability on Xbox 360 and (low end!) PCs will cannibalize some of the Xbox One version sales. If it were a true exclusive, I would have had no qualms giving it to Titanfall straight up, but it is also on two other extremely popular platforms.

I'm not saying it won't sell Xbox One consoles- I just think that with PC and 360 versions also being present, the effect will be diminished to where Mario Kart might end up selling its system more.

BoneU aren't selling all that hot so one of those two. Probably Titanfall. The 360 version is delayed and you can bet the PC/360 versions will get zero marketing.

TitanFall but thats because Xbone does need saving. Wont be enough to surpass the PS4 overall though. Maybe a month or two in 1st place of NPD chartz but thats pretty much it

If that game bombs then the Xbone is screwed for the year sales.

People like online games, so TitanFall...but it's impact will be stunted by the deliberately delayed 360 release and PC day one release. Plus, M$ has been known to blitz the hell out of games in marketing $$$ and it's been bundled (DD code). What they lack in making 1st party games, they make up for in marketing games they do make deals with. Lot's of marketing.

I think more people will fall for the Titanfall hype than either of the other two choices. Mario Kart 8 will likely be the best game out of those though.

Titanfall

If it's really good then it will probably change a lot of people's minds, and convince them to get an Xbox One though it's also possible that many of the current Xbox One users bought one in anticipation for Titanfall, so it may not boost sales.

Wii U will get a sales boost when it gets a price drop. Mario Kart will do very little.

Titanfall. You would think it was an Xbox One exclusive from the way most sites talk about it.

Infamous? Really?

That A/AA at best series doesn't belong up there with the likes of mario kart.

It only gets hype around here because cows have nothing better to look forward too. Infamous 1 and 2 were insignificant, and this one is exactly the same.

@charizard1605: I agree it is on three platforms and definitely takes away from the console selling potential but with it being bundled with The One I think that is a big deal. Is Nintendo bundling Mario Kart?

We don't know yet, since the game is still three months away from release, but knowing Nintendo, and how every single major Wii U release has been bundled with the system so far, I think it's almost a given that they will.

Titanfall and its bundle will sell more Xbox Ones than InFamous or Mario Kart will sell their respective systems. Titanfall has a mountain more hype behind it.

The PS4 inFamous bundle is a great deal, better than that of the Titanfall bundle, but the game itself isn't really generating a lot of buzz to pull in people who are putting off buying a PS4 or are undecided between the consoles.

The only thing I'm curious about is how may people will just get Titanfall on the Xbox 360. I'm assuming nearly everybody who wants Titanfall has an Xbox 360 or a PC already. I'm wondering how many of those Xbox 360 owners will purchase an Xbox One for Titanfall. Nearly $558 before tax is qutie a bit to swallow, especially if the PS4 peaks your interests at all.

It wouldn't be $558, it would be $499. The game is bundled.

I kind of wish Titanfall were exclusive, simply because I don't care about the game that much and it would be sort of interesting to me to see just how much an online-only game can boost sales of a console that lacks free online play. There are only enough XBLG subscriptions to account for just over half of all Xbox 360 sales.

Titanfall definitely has the most hype. The FPS genre is starting to falter but it's far from being on it's deathbed. This game will move the most consoles.

Infamous: SS...............God, you know the superhero genre has been in decay for a long time. They've pretty much devolved to murder simulators. For some people that's a big plus but for me it's a turn off.

Mario Kart 8. I grew up on and loved this franchise dearly and with certain stores dropping their Wii-U prices to 150ish I definitely could see it moving more consoles than we expect.

It's a toss-up between Titanfall and Mario Kart for me. I really don't see Infamous boosting PS4 sales, I mean it's still a hard to get system so it's not like they've the excess inventory really to see a big boost, whereas the stagnant sales of the X1 and Wii U will be easier to see a reaction from.

Oh, still $500 vs $60. If a person isn't dead set on getting an Xbox One already, I don't think they'll be so inclined to pick up an Xbox One. Instead they'll just get Titanfall on the Xbox 360. Not like anybody is really praising the visuals of Titanfall.

PS4 doesn't need helping since it's already selling out as fast Sony can make them. So it's down to Titanfall and MK8 to save the WiiU and Xflop.I reckon Titanfall will sell more Xflops but it will be a temporary spike until sales again fall off a cliff in the coming months.

Mario Kat 8 probably since it's an exclusive and the last couple of mario kart games sold a lot more than any game in the infamous franchise.It probably will provide a decent boost for the WiiU.I don't know if this boost will be temporary yet.Infamous will be hindered by the PS4's supply issues and the franchise is not that popular in the first place. Titanfall will either help the xbox one or a lot or it will the second biggst system seller of the two.

Probably Titanfall though I don't think it's going to be as big a hit as some think.

Infamous is a B rate franchise that no one really gives a damn about.

Mario Kart 8 might push the WII U in Japan but probably do next to nothing in the west.

MK, TitanFall is not even an exclusive, so I doubt it will help selling the bone. I'm sure the X1 will pick up sales because of the game, but i dont see them being significant. And MK has always been a very good seller for Nintendo, and a reason people buy their console or handhelds. As for second son, I dont see it as a system seller, then again sony is not having any trouble selling the ps4.

I'll have to go with none of the above. Titanfall is gonna sell better on PC, Mario Kart 238 is crap and infamous isn't a system pusher.

Easily Titanfall...Even if Titanfall was on every single system it would still move consoles.. Only on system wars are multiplats not System Sellers; you neckbeards need to get a bar. This isn't the PS1 era anymore. In real life multiplats are the biggest system sellers. It would move whatever system it was on.. I'm not convinced either of the other two will help their respective consoles, but the PS4 will keep selling well regardless

I'm saying Titanfall. But personally I'm more interested in the other two. Especially Infamous.
