Xbone has Game of the Generation Titanfall, thus it cannot be doomed.

LOL will be hard pressed to be game of 2014...Funny how people are now clinging to titanfall like it is a savior of all gaming and consoles...It will have a minimal impact.

Not the savior of gaming but the savior of early X1 sales. Just imagine if it were multiplat or even PS4 exclusive^^

Do you believe yet another dudebro shooter, coming out on a console that could be very well called the shooterbox is gonna move many hardware when clearly people are going to wait and see how the big dogs shape up ? Next cod and battlefield are going to swallow this EA attempt at the yearly dudebro craze. I can see Destiny making a bigger impact though.

Good point but I think you underestimate Titanfall a bit.
It might be dudebro material but what sets it apart is the critical acclaim by professionals. Pretty much every journalist who reviewed or previed this game had nothing but good stuff to say about it. It's pretty much lauded as the next generation of FPS. So there will be a lot of good press for it before and maybe even after realeae(if the servers hold, which I won't bet on). That can be a powerful tool to get all the non-dudebros and people who would less likely buy an online game or a shooter tot ry it. Even if you're not considering to ever play it it will be another point for X1 when you are considering which console you should get. It shows that X1 is capable of powerful exclusives, even if they are just bought.

So I think Titanfall will be one of the games every X1 defender will be using to promote their system regardless if they played it or not. Kind of like what Heavy Rain and Uncharted are for PS3. And that is a positive thing for a console, no matter who is going to play the actual game.
