Dissagree, people started looking at the online gameplay COD offer when it was a multiplatform game starting with COD 4.  If I'm not mistaken, COD 3 were a single player only game cause the online component was crap, so tecnically nobody care about the franchise until COD 4.  Titanfall is a new brand online game right out of the gate, so in order to attract those COD players and sells COD numbers, it needs every install base it can get.  The same that happen with Battlefield 3, even if it's the 3 installment, for a lot of ps3 owners was the first battlefield but thanks to the awareness of a huge online game, it sells huge on ps3.

CoD3 had great MP and Treyarch/Grey Matter are actually the ones who implemented many of the features made popular by CoD4, like rank ups, levels, "perks", etc. It didn't have the marketing push that CoD4 had though and IIRC the PS3 version was rushed for launch and was shit. The thing that really made CoD4 explode was the MP beta. Everyone was waiting for Halo 3 and that beta made a lot of people simply forget about Halo 3. The beta was immensely popular and was just that damn good.

Titanfall will have a huge marketing push and by all indications, will be an amazing shooter. Titanfall 2 on both next gen consoles, barring some development disaster, will put up amazing numbers. It might even match the 15 million or whatever CoD4 put up, mostly because unlike with CoD, there won't be a Titanfall: Mech War or some shit one year later to steal some of its sales.

I'm sorry, did you just say you think Titanfall 2 will sell 15 million copies? We don't even know if the first one is going to sell well...That's being a bit hopeful isn't it? Don't get me wrong, the game looks good. But how many times have we seen games that look really good and then never end up being what we expected them to be?
