I'm not spinning it. I'm saying the game didn't meet the hype in quality or sales and the fact is failed to boost the X1 significantly enough to even beat the PS4 the month it released in the USA which is it's strongest market. It failed.

4 million on 2 Xbox consoles isn't a massive success? Not even "near" one? Forget hype and marketing (which is pretty much the same thing), it sold amazing for what it was, and during a period where X1 was selling at a alltime low compared to PS4.

Dont even know why you brought this up to begin with. It released, it sold well, it isn;t on PS4, but T2 will be. Let it go.

I didn't bring it up so i've nothing to let go. The reality is it was hyped as the game of the generation and ended up bring outsold by lots of games on the ps4 alone. It also only sold 4 million between 360, pc and x1 which is not actually good considering the install base, the mega hype and the huge discounts on the game within the first 8 months. No matter how you spin it, it failed. 

Again, hype doesn't mean that the game will have to sell a lot of games or it  will have to do Halo or COD numbers. For sales of Titanfall on the Xbox One it was #1 in the software charts at the time but now it was beaten by Destiny and Advance Warfare mostly because of the bigger install base when those games were released(compare the install base of the X1 when Titanfall came out). Why do you say it has to outsell some PS4 games? You do know a new game/franchise like Titanfall isn't comparable to some of the popular yearly games like FIFA,right? So again no matter how you try to downplay Titanfall it still is a sucessfull game.


It had twice the hype of watchdogs but that on ps4 outsold titanfall on X1. But this is not my point.  My point is it was hyped as this gens gears 1. Gears shifted millions of xboxs. Titanfall failed big time with regards shifting x1. The sales might be good but ultimately it failed to achieve what it was meant to dominate. And that was for it to lift the x1 and beat the ps4. As i said it even failed to do that the month it released.
