It's a flame baited thread no doubt, but I do seriously believe that the Xbone is going to have a tough time of things. Yes I know Titanfall looks impressive, but that is only one game. Will it sell even half of what the PS4 sells this year? |
People hanging their hat on Titfall are ignorant for two reasons. The first one is the idea that one game can put a console on top. False. Halo was bigger than Titanfall will ever be, and the original Xbox finished 130 million consoles behind the PS2. So that's proof one really huge FPS doesn't matter at all. And the second reason why they're ignorant is Titanfall isn't even exclusive lol. So not only is it not nearly as hyped and big as Halo was when it first came out, it's not even exlcusive like Halo was. lol
It'll be a big game and it'll be a great FPS (I'm getting it for 360), but it won't save the Xbone.

Without Halo CE/Halo 2 on the original Xbox the Xbox would have sold way less. You look way to simple to it, having a few Indie hits on Xbla increased people buying the system, increased the number of devs making a game on Xbla and porting their game over and that again increased the numbers of people buying the system and devs making games for XBLA...
If Titanfall is succesfull in sales and attracting some customers it will affect the sales for years;..

I never said it wouldn't impact sales. I said that it won't put the Xbone on top. Yes, without Halo the original Xbox wouldn't have sold as well as it did. But even WITH Halo, it still came up 130+ short lol. That's my point.

And my point is that one huge FPS matters, if Halo CE bombed the Xbox would never sold more than GC and probably would have sold less than 15 or 10 million. The popularity of Halo CE made MS matter a lot about the online community and attracted other shooters like Doom 3/Far cry/Half life 2 but also many pc games like Morowind because their was a market who love shooters and pc gamers.....And yes it did not made the Xbox sell great but it created the view for the future for Xbox and that is what X360 became a console made and create online community with especially shooters and that made the X360 the king in some markets.. so yeah in my book one FPS topgame can matter a lot... I don't believe Titanfall will influence much but I could eat crow...
