I still think Titanfall will sell similar to Gears of War (a new IP for the 360), selling about 5-6 million.
I think Shadowfall will do typical Killzone numbers, selling about 3 million. |
as a launch window title??? (within first year of release?) I dunno 3m might be realistic for either at max, but I'd say considerably less for both for at least the first year after release.

Poll asked for lifetime sales, so that is what I estimated. I am also assuming that many people who buy it for the 360 will buy it again for the XBOne, especially if there is a cheap upgrade offer.
Titanfall is also almost guaranteed to have a console bundle with XBOne. I think Microsoft is going to market this as much as they would Halo.

A company that puts out a console may offer a cheap upgrade route for it, if it is their IP. Titanfall belongs to EA, that just wants to sell games, NOT looking to promote a platform.
As far as a console bundle goes, you would need Microsoft to moneyhat yet again, because they don't own the IP. And also, where do you get the idea they will market it like Halo? Titanfall isn't locked to be an exclusive and is not published by Microsoft, the way Gears or Halo was. The thing is that it is NOT Microsoft's IP, is not exclusive just to the ONE, and EA would have every interest in having it go multiplatform, if possible, just like they did with Mass Effect.
