Why is Titanfall Considered a Big Exclusive for XB1 but FFXIV not for PS4?

I don't think you could really call FF14's sales modest ^^; Last we heard (about a week ago) the game has 2 million users, with an average of around 500,000 daily players.

Still, what you said is correct. Sub based MMOs often have difficulty achieving high sales, FF14 has just been a rare exception to the rule.

I hope they announce the number of people that have gone through with the free PS3 -> PS4 upgrade. That would give us a much better idea of how it's doing.

You're missing the point. It may be doing very well compared to usual MMO. But many FF fans are going to pass because they don't want pay the subscription fee. That's why we saw little hype for that Sony console exclusive.

Nobody wants to boast about an exclusive that cost ~$15 a month to play. Many people that visit these types of forums are turned off to it.

Isn't Titanfall basically an MMO like FFXIV: ARR. an MMOFPS rather than a MMORPG?
