Take a look at real world interest instead of forum BS, take a look at Amazon rankings or Youtube views. Before Titanfall came out it was literally supposed to be the biggest thing since slices bread, supposed to "revolutionize FPS" and the game with the "Most E3 awards in the history of gaming", Tomb Raider isn't even the biggest thing that comes out on Nov. 10th. Also 99% of people don't care about any Tomb Raider exclusivity fallout.

99% of people? 99% of people don't even purchase a console of any kind. Why would they care? Who do you think games sell to? People with no interest in videogames.

It wasn't at 7 million, everything beside that is simple speculation.

I never said it was, if you read what I wrote you would know that. Things that are not speculation however:

  • It outsold Gears 1 in March on a $499 console with a max of 2.4 Million users, vs a (average) $349 console with 3.3 million users in November
  • It had a Better US launch, than any 1st party* playstation exclusive ever (only using in case someone mentions GTA:SA)
  • Tomb Raider? November? 8M users and a shit storm of controversy? HAHAHAHA! Honestly, between Gears and Titanfall vs. Bulletstorm and Crysis 3, sometimEs its about the right partner, not the number of platforms.

You aren't seriously comparing the retail split here are you? I don't think there's any sales indicator less usefull than PC retail sales in todays market

Titanfall PC is a ghost town, and that games been on sale loads of times.

Show me 5 entries in a 5M+ series that sold at least the same on PC as on console in the last decade. The closest you'll find is Minecraft and that had a 3 year headstart.
