I wouldn't get it just for X1. Perhaps those gamers who only play COD would get the game for the X1. In terms of FPS games, the X1 looks superior with Halo and Titanfall.



Add Gears to that and you have a deadly combo in the next three years for competitive shooters. 

Exactly. And Sony still struggles to create a good FPS. So MS has the potential to attract the FPS crowd which is a huge amount of gamers. Its still very early in the generation as well so a price drop + exclusives could still make the X1 very succesful.  

You discredit the fact that the next iteration of Titanfall is likely to be available on PlayStation 4, and not only that, but it will likely be a far more definitive iteration than the initial release as it is unlikely to be cross-generation. This could have a knock-on effect of people presuming that the fancy new visuals are because it is available on PlayStation 4, rather than the fact that it is no longer a cross-generation title.

As to Sony creating decent first-person-shooters, they don't, their studios do. And as for Microsoft creating decent first-person-shooters, they don't, they try to buy the studios that create the decent shooter, and if that fails they try to purchase some sort of exclusivity.

There's no conformation of that, so unless its officially announced, Titanfall stays an Xbox exclusive. 

Yes,  well obviously the studios make games. The studios are owned by Sony, they aren't seperate companies, so its still Sony's fault for not making a good FPS. 

Zampella has as good as confirmed it already by saying that the studio will be making games for the PlayStation 4, just not the first Titanfall. That in itself is a massive hint, especially when you consider how tightly Microsoft will have the whole team under contract. They shouldn't even really be mentioning the PlayStation 4 at all.

Regarding Sony, they give their first-party studios creative freedom, allowing them to create the games they want. Killzone is a very good first-person shooter, it just requires a lot of skill in the multi-player segment which is off-putting for the average shooter fan.
