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. |
I think you missed the entire gist of what I was trying to say. Yes, if a gamer has a pc, x360 and x1, then they will go for the X1 version of Titanfall which will be the best one (I assume). The same if they are planning to get a next gen console and Titanfall is a game they MUST play. BUT if they really want to play titanfall but only have an x360 OR a PC, then do you think they will buy an X1 just to play the BEST version of the game? Of course they wont, the majority of gamers will just get the game on pc or x360. Only a small fraction would buy a console they werent already planning to buy just to play a single game, especially when they have the option of playing the game for cheaper elsewhere.
As for PCs, of course the number of pc gamers is smaller than console and yes the number of people getting and playing Titanfall will be much lower than on X360/X1. But if it comes to people choosing a pc version or buying a whole new console I bet a significant number do go for the pc version. I also dont know that the x1 version will be superior to the pc version (correct me if I am wrong).
