Did MS pay "top dollar"? Who knows. So they made the deal hoping to beat PS4 in the NPD? lol. Thats silly. They made the deal to.improve their library and spur sales, which it did. Instead of looking at it from a "it didn't beat the PS4" angle, try looking at it from a "how much would PS4 have outsold it without Titanfall" angle. It seems, like many, you're letting some forum hype and journalist buzz dance a number on your logic. If you really think MS thought they had a game on deck that would let them "beat PS4" then I don't know what to tell you.
I can tell you though that the game has sold millions, EA had greater than expected revenue results and thanked Titanfall as one of the reasons, and have said it met their sales expectations. Idk where your "vast realms of knowledge" fit in there, maybe email them and tell them GAF said it was supposed to be the Gears of this gen, maybe they'll adjust those expectations accordingly LOL.
