WTF?

It is Multiplatform.

Yes, to the informed gamer. Even if people know its multiplat, they are convinced that one console is THE place to play it. Hence "pretend".

Wouldn't this then make Titanfall the first "pretend exclusive"?

 

They show off the XBox One version, show nothing of the XBox 360 version. They release the XBox One version and hold back the XBox 360 version. When the 360 version finally gets released it is more like a quiet launch. All the marketting went to the XBox One version of the game. Not the PC version, not the XBox 360 version.

To the uninformed gamer, wouldn't they believe XBox One was THE place to play Titanfall, even though that wasn't really the case?

Yes that is true. That said it isn't available on PS4, which we all know, is the dominant console thus far. This is why I think Destiny is a bigger issue because its like stealing sales from Xbox consoles in plain sight. Brilliant strategy.
