One of my initial thoughts on Titanfall was that it has the potential to do for the X1 what Gears did for the 360 and I stand by that. Not everything has to have some elaborate explanation, sometimes you see things and are like, fuck yeah. I think most of the hype for Titanfall is that it just looks fun, plain and simple. Wanna call it COD with mechs and jetpacks? That's fine (the Google shit was hilarious BTW) but before Titanfall was known about I bet a whole lot of people who play COD would say sign me up for some COD w/fuckin' mechs and jetpacks, people on ALL platforms.
As far as being a system seller? Xbone will have been out for a few months by then and a lot of hate that's going on now will have subsided. If (and I know it can be a big if) the game is in fact an awesome experience for the majority of people who own the X1, and especially the COD crowd, word of mouth will spread. Once that happens, where are people gonna wanna go to play it? That's right, X1 and there's your sales.
I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
