It is a trick. They did the same thing with Bioshock. They paid to keep it away from Sony for a year. The second Titanfall will come to Sony, but the first will stay exclusive to Microsoft. This is what Microsoft ALWAYS does but Sony has real exclusives to actual franchises and that is why they will win out in the end. Microsoft can play the games but Sony will always come to the party with their own goods that they made.

Wait, so you are saying that Microsoft paid money to get this new IP developed and as an exclusive, but it will be later made better on a Sony console because it has better exclusives?

Eventhough Microsoft and others have paid for the development and exclusivity?


No. I am saying the second Titanfall will be on both next gen consoles. Microsoft is using the first game to draw consumers to the Xbox One. Its the same tactic they tried with Mass Effeect. When they like a franchise but don't own the IP this is how they act. Microsoft has been paying EA a ungodly amount of money to have the edge in the launch. Sony doesn't need to pay everyone to beat Microsoft in the end. All they have to do is out develop them. Not saying that Sony doesnt try to get DLC or content, but Microsoft has a rule for third party that if they get a late game they no longer want it. No late games. Sony has a rule that if Microsoft or any competition causes them to have a late game the stipulation for causing lateness to their gamers their games need to come with DLC. 

I would implore you to go to Gamestop and look at the amount of games Sony got with extra DLC because Microsoft paid companies to stay away from them for specific amounts of time. The majority of the "exclusives" had in their first two years were timed exclusives or paid to keep away from Sony. I got a 360 first because I know they would keep games away from Sony. I just waited for Sony to drop the price of the PS3 and amass a greater amount of true exclusives than Microsoft and play that. The same will occur this gen, but not as much as last gen since both launched around the time time.
