Nothing to explain to you. You said it was a "stupid" decision without haing any real knowledge about the deal and how much money it will bring to SE to actually work on the franchise in the future ro to make up for the lost sales on other platforms. This is just a random call and you have nothing to back your claim that's it. |
but i do

TitanFall was hyped more, Titanfall had is in a more popular genre, titanfall was made by the makers of CoD, Titanfall scored higher on metacritic, titanfall released in a better time for sales, (march vs may), titanfall was given away FOR FREE with the majority of xb1's sold for months, and according to offical data by NPD and GFK, titanfall is pretty much spot on when it comes to sales. look at that strong precense in EU, sub 1m, give me a break.
.89m vs 2.16 million in EU. around 2.5:1 sales ratio
.22 million vs .67 million in rest of the world sales, over 3:1 sales ratio.
Watch dogs shipped 8 million, by end of Q2. how much did titanfall ship?
the difference is night and day when it comes to sales, and even though TF had the better reasons to sell more, but the major set back was exclusivity. now the presence of the game in EU and rest of the world is pitiful compared to the game potential. guess whats gonna happen to tomb raider?
the most important part of the sales is during launch, and when TR launches just on XB1, they will lose shit loads of sales because of it, and thus hurt the long term of the franchise. its a simple concpet.
