If EA isn't Going to Sell Titanfall Publishing Rights to MS Then They are Probably Thinking About how to get the IP onto Playstation ASAP, so...

I thought PS fans didn't like Titanfall. So what would be the point?

Just to clarify, I'm a ps fan and I still don't want titanfall on the playstation. Or more specifically, I couldn't care if it does because I won't be playing it. However, let's not be stupid, one fan who doesn't care if titanfall comes to a playstation console doesn't accurately reflect the playstation consumer base, now does it? 

 

Anyway, from EA's perspective it would make sense to get the IP on the playstation consoles...only thing stopping it from happening is if MS give EA an offer they can't refuse...but I find that unlikely in any event. 

Perhaps I should haveput something like this in the OP. I am the opposite of a FPS fan, and I like online MP FPS even less. I was just curious to see what people think about the prospects of EA doing something a bit tricky with TF, partly because MS probably sold EA a line about their DRM goodness back in early 2013, and assured EA that Xb one would be the dominant console in the west. So EA could very well be pouring over the deal looking for loopholes that could make TF less exclusive than it is right now.

IMO PS4 doesn't need the TF franchise at all. I think PS4 would benefit from an exclusive shooter that isn't Killzone. I think as an IP Killzone has pretty much done its dash, so GG needs to start working on something else. They can stay the premier 1st party FPS developer for Sony, but if they want to make a game of at least 50% Halo popularity they need to work on something new. What PS4 doesn't really need is another multiplatform shooter. Destiny is enough new IP for the start of the generation.

So if people think I'm a desperate fan wanting TF to come to PS4 they're mistaken. I'm interested in what EA's next move will be just for general interest reasons, and because it'd be an absolute laugh to see EA contorting itself to get TF onto the number 1 selling home console of the 8th generation.
