Wow...Ok.

Don't confuse EA for MS. I'm sure they didn't want to sell only a 4 million install base when there is a 6 million install base on the other side, but they had already taken MS money. I'm sure they are more concerned with how TF did on PC and how it will do on the 360. If they can outsell Ghosts on the 360 it will be a win for them.

@Italics: That's quite the speculation, surely you have a link for this common knowledge. I mean its not like EA is publishing the...oh wait never mind.

Fact is EA knows how much they lost, and there is no benefit for them to have been "exclusive" to Xb1, is more of Respawn's choice since they wanted to make a game for a single platform first. Why in the hell would EA care about selling XB1s when there are 86+ million that they could've sold to as well? They can't even compete with COD with this model.

Are you sure that video is relevant? the comment I was replying to was concerning the allegation that EA doesn't like to brag (but they love to crack jokes at Nintendo), and Sony does. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that EA is a multiplat and burning bridges with the market leader by bragging about the sales you got on the competiting platform is insanity?

Clearly,that's not best for business.

You asked for a link on EA not giving Respawn much resources. I gave you that link.

Not sure what you mean about "crack jokes at Nintendo" since that wasn't EA, it was Frostbite. EA had to apologize FOR Frostbite because they are under EA. But yes, EA doesn't brag about every million sold like Sony does for every single thing. Has nothing to do with burning bridges, we'll know Titanfall numbers when the quarterly earnings come out or when Titanfall becomes the best selling Xbox One game. Whichever comes first.

EA owns Frostbite, so they are responsible for it. If they can't control their studios thats their problem. Furthermore, their are multiple statements by EA of not supporting the Wii U, that's burning bridges, cutting ties, refusing to support them, etc... The only reason EA will keep the sales numbers to the investors is because bragging about TitanFall wouldn't be positive PR. Sony celebrating their sales is positive PR, and considering their finacial state, being downgraded to junk status or w.e being vocal about sales is an appeal to investors as well. I understand that it might be annoying for you because Microsoft has nothing to say about their Xbox 1 bundles, cause its not like the people who bought TF bundles actually bought the game, so MS knows exactly how many consoles they have sold. Where are the statistics about X1 XBL users? But your going have to deal with and vent your frustations some other way, maybe by playing Titanfall or something :|

You don't have to like Sony, but don't act like the reason EA hasn't made an announcement is because they don't like to brag. EA is a company they will do whatever is good for the bottom line, clearly bragging would antagonize Sony (The Market Leader) which is insane. Sony on the other hand loses nothing by letting MS know they are getting beat. That's the difference, you can stop with the bs claims now. MS might not be able to talk about TitanFall sales but how exactly is that keeping them from talking about the consoles they have sold. Maybe if MS actually had games for studios they owned they could have more bragging rights, but sounds like your just salty.
