that was anounced before it even released? how could it come up short XD/ but yeah 500$ console. titanfall which honestly lacked tons of content basically reducing its worth to a lot of people wouldnt have sweetened that deal that much.


they would have known pre orders and if they were high enough to give xbox the boost they wanted that month they wouldn't have done such a big deal month #1. Orgiven it the many cuts in price in the months after. 

Yeah so basically it was a failure on the original promise/hyped vision. It didn't live up to it and so sales didn't reach the heights they wanted. Note I've not daid sales were bad, just it failed to reach the level of hype. 

if you put it that way i guess it made sense. however if it had a single player and more content? xbox one would be aproaching 13 million right now. also it would have won march npd. also titanfall would be around 3,4 million retail sales.

yeah if they made it properly it would have done so much more for xbox one. as you said, proper single player, more online content and higher player count. all those things really hurt it. destiny was a bigger game in terms of overall hype so it's sales are naturally much higher and that game aslso fucked itself for many of the same reasons. hopefully destiny 2 and titanfall 2 address all these issues.

Why? It's not like the game won't be available for the console.

If hé was also a PC gamer like a lot of people, buying consoles for exclusives , or was hesitating between PC ans X1 but bought a X1 for Xbox exclusives, he could legitimately be pissed 



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Imagine wasting money on this when I could have put it towards PC parts and play the superior version of the game there.

As if there's going to be only one good game on the console. It's not like every single exclusive titles are going to be ported to the PC...

well in all honesty its just another reason for my to not buy a xbox one at this point, it seems the games i have been interested have come on pc,  and there just isnt enough games FOR ME X1 to make me buy it......YET.   Fable was the one must have game for me.  and now ill just wait for the pc release.

Yes, but that uneasy feeling of not knowing what game is going to get ported is not settling.

I remember the time when exclusives were important for Vita and this console useless because of " no (exclusive) games" even if all multiplatform games were not on 3DS, it's the exact same logic from gamers point of view( to not talk about sales), but the answers are different,strange

Hahaha. Forgot about that! Thanks for bringing it up, man. It's quite hilarious, really.

i consider destiny to be a failure in terms of the hype because that turned out to be half a game aswell. its sells were much better than titanfall but that's because it came out on ps4 so it prob did similar to titanfall. but if they made that game with twice the content it prob would be doing a lot better than it has. Activision shareholders made it clear they weren't happy with the sales.

I don't know what you mean by the "xbox vs ps4 situation" but the situation i'm familiar with was one where the game was hyped to be the next gears of war and the xbox one's saviour versus the ps4. i didn't create that situation so don't blame it on me. some xbox fans, the media and EA did. 

It came out and the month of release it couldn't even get the xbox one to win npd. destiny on the other hand gave ps4 a massive september victory. One of these games moved consoles in big numbers but the other didn't. I do think Destiny is ultimitely a failure to but just to a lesser extent. 

Well Destiny's failure in hype is one thing we agree on. But still like Sales said Titanfall sold at least 4 million between 3 platforms with the Xbox One version selling more or doubling the 360 version without digital sales. So no matter how you spin this Titanfall is a sucess. We are done with this discussion.

I'm not spinning it. I'm saying the game didn't meet the hype in quality or sales and the fact is failed to boost the X1 significantly enough to even beat the PS4 the month it released in the USA which is it's strongest market. It failed.

4 million on 2 Xbox consoles isn't a massive success? Not even "near" one? Forget hype and marketing (which is pretty much the same thing), it sold amazing for what it was, and during a period where X1 was selling at a alltime low compared to PS4.

Dont even know why you brought this up to begin with. It released, it sold well, it isn;t on PS4, but T2 will be. Let it go.

I didn't bring it up so i've nothing to let go. The reality is it was hyped as the game of the generation and ended up bring outsold by lots of games on the ps4 alone. It also only sold 4 million between 360, pc and x1 which is not actually good considering the install base, the mega hype and the huge discounts on the game within the first 8 months. No matter how you spin it, it failed. 

Again, hype doesn't mean that the game will have to sell a lot of games or it  will have to do Halo or COD numbers. For sales of Titanfall on the Xbox One it was #1 in the software charts at the time but now it was beaten by Destiny and Advance Warfare mostly because of the bigger install base when those games were released(compare the install base of the X1 when Titanfall came out). Why do you say it has to outsell some PS4 games? You do know a new game/franchise like Titanfall isn't comparable to some of the popular yearly games like FIFA,right? So again no matter how you try to downplay Titanfall it still is a sucessfull game.

It had twice the hype of watchdogs but that on ps4 outsold titanfall on X1. But this is not my point.  My point is it was hyped as this gens gears 1. Gears shifted millions of xboxs. Titanfall failed big time with regards shifting x1. The sales might be good but ultimately it failed to achieve what it was meant to dominate. And that was for it to lift the x1 and beat the ps4. As i said it even failed to do that the month it released.
