Hahaha -- is that John C Reilly? :D

No

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. 

I believe the question would be, why you believe your preference should be the popular opinion, especially if you have not played the game.  It's apparent that people are hyping up Titanfall because they like what they see.  People who have played the game says its fun and additive.   What you are really saying is, why do people like something I do not like which is more a personal problem then anything to do with how good Titanfall will be.

Forgive me, but where exactly did I say people's opinions should mirror my own? The OP asked a question, I answered it. I have seen enough of the game to know that it is something i am definitely not interested in, and something that looks extremely similar to countless other first-person-shooters already released.

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 was going to get an X1 just for this game but honestly I got bored with BF4 much quicker than I thought that I'm not so sure anymore. FPS games just aren't built to keep me interested that long I've noticed.

" I have absolutely no interest in Titanfall whatsoever, and struggle to see why the media/people is/are hyping up yet another first-person-shooter."

That quote above is where you stated your opinion.  You stated that you struggle to understand why people have an opinion different from what you like.  Even from your reply, you still make a statement that you see the game as being the same as any other FPS.  It's your opinion but its evident that its not shared amoung people who have played the game.  I am only mildly interested in Titanfall but I also have not played the game, read any reviews etc.  It has mechs and seem to offer better movement for players.  People in the beta seem to like it. It would be interesting if this game becomes popular enough to even entice the Japanese market.

If anything, it's under hyped.

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).
