Did EA mishandle the Titanfall IP?

Well may I point out the succes of Titanfall had less to do with the console availability and more to do with the game itself. It lacked a real campaign, not enough modes and especially weapons. Missing community features as well.

What it does have is cutting edge gameplay mechanics in a saturated genre. So if Titanfall 2 gets the big budget treatment and gets everything done big and right, coupled with marketing, it should do just fine.

I just think your jelly in the end.

the only thing i see is you from an xbox gamer's perspective.  of course you'll believe the game sells on whatever it goes on.. even with the community slowly disappearing, we still hear of defenders saying.. "oh, it's your sever", "oh you got to play it around certain times to find others", "well nobody plays those modes anyways", etc. 

all i've heard mostly are nothing to address the points and purpose of this thread which is.. did EA mishandle the TF IP.  Will the sequels sell once on the other platforms?  Did EA stymie the IP by going exclusive.  not.. OMG.. you jelly. TF2 will be Awesome.. orgaz.  Even if the IP is not console associated.. it will be by default because of the exclusivity.

My jelly comment was me reading between the lines as there is a underlying reason why you made this thread......and I doubt its because you are genuinely concerned for EA's properties.

When it comes down to it, EA only mishandled Titanfall by releasing it on a console that is only 5 months old. Modern Warfare released when 360 was 2 years old and PS3 1 year. The install base is simply too small. T2 will be fine.
