Xbone has Game of the Generation Titanfall, thus it cannot be doomed.


LOL will be hard pressed to be game of 2014...Funny how people are now clinging to titanfall like it is a savior of all gaming and consoles...It will have a minimal impact.

Not the savior of gaming but the savior of early X1 sales. Just imagine if it were multiplat or even PS4 exclusive^^

Do you believe yet another dudebro shooter, coming out on a console that could be very well called the shooterbox is gonna move many hardware when clearly people are going to wait and see how the big dogs shape up ? Next cod and battlefield are going to swallow this EA attempt at the yearly dudebro craze. I can see Destiny making a bigger impact though.



It's to early to say the x1 is doomed

A kinectless version for $349.99 would be a game changer.

If the Xbone is now the "dudebro shooterbox", then what would you call the PS4, whose top 3 best selling titles are all dudebro shooters?

Pos Game Platform Year Genre Publisher North America Europe Japan Rest of World Global
1 Call of Duty: Ghosts PS4 2013 Shooter Activision 0.78 0.50 0.00 0.12 1.40
2 Killzone: Shadow Fall PS4 2013 Action Sony Computer Entertainment 0.45 0.58 0.00 0.11 1.13
3 Battlefield 4 PS4 2013 Shooter Electronic Arts 0.59 0.40 0.00 0.09 1.08

And the PS4 version of the biggest dudebro shooter of them all even outsold the shooterbox's version...

1 Call of Duty: Ghosts XOne 2013 Shooter Activision 0.70 0.31 0.00 0.09 1.10

What are you going to do when World Of Halo Destiny becomes the PS4's top selling title later this year???

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Xbox should stop making consoles and just sell... Well, they don't make games so they should just disappear.

PS4 is also a shooterbox indeed, but Sony first party is far more diversified than microsofts. So in the end, the one console who's got the dudebro karisma is still the xbox brand. And when Microsoft strikes more deals for even more shooters, you can't expect for all of them sell greatly. Sunset Overdrive is yt another shooter. Upcoming Halo, more pew pew. Quantum Break most probably will be another third person shooter. 



None of the 8th gen consoles are "doomed" yet, it's far too early to call any of them, period.

These threads are redundant, unimaginative, and need to stop.

Good point but I think you underestimate Titanfall a bit.
It might be dudebro material but what sets it apart is the critical acclaim by professionals. Pretty much every journalist who reviewed or previed this game had nothing but good stuff to say about it. It's pretty much lauded as the next generation of FPS. So there will be a lot of good press for it before and maybe even after realeae(if the servers hold, which I won't bet on). That can be a powerful tool to get all the non-dudebros and people who would less likely buy an online game or a shooter tot ry it. Even if you're not considering to ever play it it will be another point for X1 when you are considering which console you should get. It shows that X1 is capable of powerful exclusives, even if they are just bought.

So I think Titanfall will be one of the games every X1 defender will be using to promote their system regardless if they played it or not. Kind of like what Heavy Rain and Uncharted are for PS3. And that is a positive thing for a console, no matter who is going to play the actual game.

The critical acclaim always matters, right shadow of colossus and okami ?

"journalist" lol

Also, Titanfall is only exclusive for the 1st iteration as far as I know. And it will also release on x360 and PC, so it is not a Xbone exclusive in the sense that there is no other platform to play the game.

And yes, I could be underestimating it, but I think that Crysis 3 and Homefront are examples that not always a good game is gonna set the charts on fire.
