Titanfall exclusivity proved to be (quite) pointless

Please, stop with "it´s not what people expected"... this is ridiculous.

How do you know what people expected? How do you know people are not enjoing as much as they expected?

You are repeating the same stuff over and over again since Titanfall Day One. DAY ONE!

When the first review broke the embargo you was here saying "it´s a great grame, but not what people expected. Low quality graphics and hits single digit FPS".

You are not fooling anyone.

PS: Correct-me if I´m wrong, but your "mypst" shows you have only Killzone SF as a full retail game for the PS4 and you completed only 44% of it, was this game below your expectations?

He doesn't know what people expected, he'll tell you to "ask them yourself". Yet at the same time he sure knows it wasn't what they expected. Haha @ the single digit frames FUD, my favorite Titanfall FUD of all.

2 million+ in sales (not counting digital) and it's not what EA expected. EA will eventually talk sales with investors as they always do. Just because Sony makes an announcement about Infamous selling a million doesn't mean other companies have to.

It's funny that somehow a game that's been hyped up the wazoo since last year all the way up to launch date by both MS & EA has remained relatively quiet since post launch date.  Since when did MS & EA ever NOT brag about numbers and sales?  For MS, if it was a system seller as they believed, you wouldn't be able to stop them or the media about how much this "exlusivity" paid off for MS 1 week after release..  Likewise, EA would be touting that they have this awesome COD killer on their hands.  Exactly how long did it take MS to talk about "fastest selling system.." "selling over 1 mil in 24 hrs".. etc, etc.. and yet they are super secret about how well titanfall did for their system almost 2 months since launch (XB1)?  Same thing with EA.. how long before they started saying "8th generation, EA sells most titles.." etc. and now it's.. crickets.. crickets?!  Seems to me the numbers weren't so great.. hence the silent treatment from both companies surrounding actual HW & SW sales figures.  And onto your point.. Sony can make an announcement about Infamous because maybe it met their expectations from a sales point?  You don't think EA and MS would not do the same if Titanfall had met theirs?

Spin it all you want, but from MS standpoint.. paying for titanfall exclusivity and still not beating Sony in March = MS FLOP.  EA betting on Titanfall exclusivity with MS this gen = EA FLOP. 

Looks like a duck.. smells like a duck.. quacks like a duck.. hey it must be a duck!?!  OMG..
