Yes people will get the superior version, IF they have access to both versions i.e. if they were going to buy a ps4 or X1, then they may go for the X1 to play Titanfall. However, if they have a pc or x360 then they may just decide to buy that version over a x1 version. The x1 is not the only place that you can play the game so logically the X1's system selling ability is naturally reduced (though this does not mean that consoles sales due to Titanfall will be poor. Just that they wont be as good as they could have been). And of course pcs compete in the same space as consoles - the games (or genres) necessarily might not always be as popular on one as it would be on the other but the fact that most games nowdays are available on both pcs and consoles suggest the market is not so different as some would like. |
The X1 does not have to be the only place to play the game, it just has to be the best place. COD, Battlefield and a host of other top games run on the PC as well as consoles. When have you heard PC sales taking away from console sells. For popular games like I listed, when have PC sales come close to matching the console sells. Console players will purchase a console to play games this is the reason PC does not really effect Titanfall ability to sell X1 systems. The percentage of people who will play the PC version instead of getting the X1 I believe will be pretty small compared to the fast pace COD crowd Titanfall appeal to.
The game being on the 360 also will not really effect the X1 since the 360 version will definitely not be the best version. Its outsourced to another vendor, everything will be reduced and who knows how performance and other metrics will take a hit. When was the last time and EA oursourced game was good.
