Depending on how much money it cost Microsoft to secure "exclusivity" I wouldn't say it proved to be pointless at all.
As BenVTrigger says in this post the Xbox One soon might gonna hit some very low weekly numbers and without Titanfall these numbers would already be present and would be even lower.
Imagine the Xbox One without Titanfall.. It wouldn't stand a chance against the PS4 for the rest of 2014. Not even in the US.
This years' PS4 games are quite cleverly spread throughout the remaining months but I fear that the Xbox One will get a painful sunburn during the summer. Xbox One would literally be in hell without Titanfall though.
Xbox One without Titanfall wouldn't be able to compete with this..
March: Infamous: Second Son and Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition
April: Daylight and Final Fantasy XIV
May: MLB 14, Watch Dogs (exclusive marketing + bundle), Transistor and Bound by Flame
June: The Last of Us Remastered and The Witness (possibly)
July: Driveclub (possibly)
August: PlanetSide 2 (possibly)
September: Destiny (exclusive marketing + bundle)
October: Batman: Arkham Knight (exclusive marketing + bundle) and Assassin's Creed: Unity (exclusive marketing + bundle)
