100% this. If you have a Xbox360 or PC that can run TitanFall, why buy the XB1 for it? If you want a system seller, you need a game exclusive to that one platform, like a new Halo, a new Gears of War or even Quantam Break. Sure, TitanFall will move a number of Xbox One consoles (just like every game does), but Halo 5, now that would be a system seller!

Exactly! Infamous: Second Son will be a system seller as it is only available on PlayStation 4. Killzone: Shadow Fall was a system seller as it was available on PlayStation 4. Titanfall will sell systems, but it will also have a detrimental effect in that it will give Xbox 360 users a reason to hold onto their current system rather than invest in "next-gen" - and lets all be honest, there isn't really anything next-gen about Titanfall. 

For someone who already has a 360 but doesnt have an X1 and wants to play Titanfall, what makes the most sense? Wait 2 weeks and get it on the 360 for 60 or pay almost 600 for an X1 with the game? Its a really expensive proposition. I dont see that many people jumpin on it.

But oh well... im not an expert on the US market and i know they do love their guns. So, meh... but logically speaking i dont see how it can spike the sales that considerably. Who pays 600 for one game? :x

Nobody, which is why Microsoft and the fan-boys will be extremely disappointed, although I expect Microsoft have already acknowledged the truth.
