So that leaves the Xbone as the one MS will market as "made by the guys who brought you CoD4: Modern Warfare. And that alone will push a ton of copies. Plus I think people are really starting to tire of what CoD has become. People can reduce Titanfall to "CoD with mechs" all they want, but that couldn't be further from accurate. There's no Halo, there's no Gears. Battlefield 4 just looks like Battlefield 3.5, and Ghosts doesn't look all that next gen. So there is a spot there for a new and exciting shooter to break in, kind of like Gears did this gen. MS marketing Press hype (which has already started, good Lord) Void in library It could really push a lot of hardware. It took one year for there to be a real "next gen" game after the 360 launched imho and it was Gears. This will be that game for the Xbox One. |
MS marketing, maybe. Microsoft is not publishing Titanfall, so not sure they will do a lot for it. If it were their title, maybe it does a Gears of War, but it is not. What was the last title Microsoft marketed heavily that wasn't a title that they published?
Void in library doesn't make a game a system seller. A library with voids makes it harder to sell consoles. And the ONE is up against the PS4. Being multiplayer only is a real challenge Titanfall faces also. Now, Titanfall may sell real well, but it doesn't mean people will buy a ONE just to play it, thus suspect as a system seller.
