Purchased a titan 400. After 6 shots, the center serving of the string in chewed and separating as seen in the pictures below. Is this normal? At this rate I'll be lucky to get 50 shots out of the original string!

As for the serving separation, who ever built the bow string did not apply
enough tension before adding the serving. Crossbows with a narrow axle
to axle when cocked put a sharp string angle at the latches trying to force
the serving in that area to separate. Looking at your series of crossbow
on the internet, the bowstring comes down outside of the cams so one
will not have that narrow string angle as one where the bowstring comes
down inside the cams.
Check the hooks for any rough spots and if found, finally sand them.
The latches should be checked as well. Some latches are not smooth
and need fine sanding or polishing.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care.

+1 on checking your rope cocking hooks for inside roughness, these are usually molded from two pieces and usually have a rough seam in the middle.also agree with checking your string catch hooks that holds your string back when cocked. A little sandpaper will fix these issues. Also keep that string waxed real good. Good luck
Year old thread and no follow up from OP ? Oh well !! 
Wear points in the pictures appear to far out for string latches damage. I would say more like the area where the cocking claw contacts the string. Check for abnormal surfaces where the claw contacts the string.
Additionally, sad to say, but Tenpoint is not known for the best quality strings and cables.
Good luck

Dave at Wyvern Creations has a you tube video explaining why this is perfectly normal and that Tenpoint double serves their strings to help them last much longer than you would expect. It put my mind at ease on this topic.
Check out the video tto see if this pertains to your style of bow.
You could also Check for cam level/lean to be sure your string is not at an angle putting unwanted extra pressure on the rail. Rail lube. Dave has vids on all of these topics.
I am far from an expert and learning every day myself. Be careful & I hope it all works out good for you. Good luck.
