Titanfall exclusivity proved to be (quite) pointless

I must say that I think making Titanfall an Xbox One exclusive didn't do much good. It didn't boost the XOne sales that much and this should've had the freedom to be on PS4 as well. Microsoft probably had to pay a lot to keep it exclusive but in the end it proved to be not worth the effort. I personally also hate the way Microsoft seems to think that by just making something exclusive everyone will buy an XOne (that's at least what I seem to get out of their behaviour towards Titanfall), but that's a different discussion.

It depends on how you look at it. If you are a fan of XBox, having exclusive games always strengthens you commitment to that console, and I find it really great that MS invested in this game, it is an awesome one :). Just because something doesn´t seem beneficial economically, that does not mean it has no value.

And regarding bying exclusivity: this has been done by all big console maker through all times so I guess you are equally angry at sony and Nintendo?

Not exactly, because their approach is a little different here. They don't slap stickers on the cover praising the games' trillion awards etc.
