Titanfall Boosts U.K. Sales Of Xbox One
Respawn's online multiplayer Titanfall has greatly aided sales of the Xbox One system in the U.K.
The game debuted number one in the U.K. charts. Accordingly, sales for Xbox One have gone up 96 percent from the previous week, with the Titanfall bundle for the system accounting for 70 percent of sales, according to GfK Chart-Track. The non-Titanfall version of the system was also reduced in price from £429 to £399.
Dark Souls II took second place in the charts.

Our Take:
If only for the price savings of the bundle alone, a similar surge can be expected for the platform here in the U.S.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
