First of all, it is not Microsofts place to announce Sales numbers for EA's game. even if they secure rights for exclusivity
How much did MS talk about Titanfall before launch? A LOT. They promoted it with first party status and marketing reach. Why the change?
1- The 360 Version just released. and today it just has spent its first full week on the market. logically speaking, if EA want to announce numbers, why not wait until the 360 Version released and they can announce bigger numbers than just the PC/XB1 total?"
MS and Respawn barely mentioned the 360 version existed at all before now. Why miss the sweetspot timing for an announcement to wait for a version with no hype?
2- And this is the biggest reason, while many are comparing TitanFall to infamous, saying these games are competing, reality is that they are not. if EA release TF sales figures, at first people will compare them to infamous, but shortly after, they will be compared to the real compitition, which is of course no other than Call Of Duty, and once they do, TF will look seriously lacking (in terms of sales).
MS's promotion strategy is to act like THE COMPETITION DO NOT EXIST. They never mention other platforms in their releases by name. Giving respect to Infamous like that does not fit.
