Mario Kart
Titanfall isn't a XB1 exclusive.

Mario Kart, the people who want Titanfall probably already got XBONE

I swear you see this excuse with every game that comes out.

Oh and to answer the question I think MK8 will probably push more hardware. I mean if it doesn't then Nintendo is in serious trouble.

I'd say they'll push about the same console sales, maybe slightly higher for the Wii U since Titanfall is multiplat. As for Halo vs. Super Smash later in the year, I'd guess Halo will push more sales since Super Smash is multiplat and most will get the 3DS version instead of the Wii U version due the much larger install base.

I think this is a far more interesting comparison than Titanfall vs MK8. Although what about MK8 vs. Halo?

It is a console exclusive, and consoles are the only form of hardware relevent to this conversation.  So within the context of this thread, it is exclusive.


You're going to have to throw some words in front of the first "console" in this sentence to make it correct.


I actually had no idea that it was also coming out on 360, I only heard PC.  Knowing this, I can't say that it was a smart call by Microsoft at all to do this.  Think about all the 360 owners that would've gone to XB1 for a real exclusive.

My answer is changed to Mario Kart, though I still think that it won't cause any significant sales outside of the launch period.


Anyone can make a mistake and no one knows everything. Saying that, I thought pretty much everyone who have heard of Titanfall knew it was not exclusive to the xbone. I was wondering why you made such a bold and incorrect statement when other posters before you clearly stated it was not xbone exclusive.

I was about to put you on my list as a member to ignore.

Yeah, I agree. I think it was a bad move by MS. Time will tell.

Two huge exclusives battling it out!

Which do you think will push more systems? Mario Kart 8 for WiiU or Titanfall for X1?


Titanfall: X360, PC, Xbone

Mario Kart 8: Wii U

 

"exclusives"

Seriously now, if Mario Kart 8 can't move Wii U's and give it a boost nothing can.

If Super Smash bros and Mario Kart 8 fail I'm afraid they can bury the console

Titanfall may not be exclusive to Xbox but I guarantee more people will buy and play it on Xbox.

I agree although a real Zelda game can't hurt either.

I could see Mario Kart beating it easily if Nintendo actually knew how to market things correctly. Seeing as they are not, I think it's open for both, although I still think MK should do the best for it's hardware, although maybe not in the first week, but during the systems life.
