Only one of those consoles gets Titanfall in 2014. Thus 2014 is the year of Titanfall Xbox One.

So 1 game makes the year? Wouldn't it just be an increase in sales for a month and then a return to normal sales numbers, which will most likely be lower than PS4?

Looks like you haven't seen Titanfall.

Titanfall is a multiplayer-only game. Multiplayer-only games don't fare very well on consoles.

Indeed. Who buys a console to play PC games ? :P

Can you name one multiplayer-only retail title that sold great on consoles? The only one that comes to mind is Warhawk and it was on the PS3. And it didn't sell that great.

MAG sucked XD. And it didn't sell too well either. We also saw this with Brink and Warhawk.

Titanfall will not suck, nor will it sell poorly. But generally, multiplayer only games don't do so hot.

MAG should be a good exmaple of how this game will perform, expect this one will have a bigger marketing budget behind it. So expect double the sales of MAG if things go well for it.

lol no MAG shouldn't, because MAG was garbage.

There has never been an online MP game as hyped or as high quality (from all impressions) as Titanfall. So comparisons to stuff like MAG or niche stuff like Warhawk can be thrown right out the window.
